The garage full of gifts turned out to consist of a few books, some CDs and t-shirts. Some items are a bit more original, but nothing spectacular. Gun and religion related items seem to be popular with her followers.Call me a cynic, but I think Van Flein's letter is the equivalent of a garage full of bullshit, including the excuses about Todd's Arctic Cat deals.
I wasn't expecting an honest disclosure, but what they came up with is worse than I thought.
Oh well, nothing ever changes...
Changing the subject a little bit, this came out:
Housing programs for the homeless received a $650,000 boost after it was discovered the money had been incorrectly deleted from then-Gov. Sarah Palin's budget proposal.
The board of directors for the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority approved the money and it was included in a budget forwarded to Palin's office.
There, the money was apparently compressed into a smaller sum with another pool.
David Teal of the Legislative Finance Division says the lapse escaped everyone's attention until after the session.
I wonder how many more projects will receive an unexpected windfall?
Call me a cynic again, but this also smells funny.
