According to the Associated Press, Sarah Palin’s early resignation as Governor of Alaska cost state taxpayer’s a minimum of $40,000, not including a special legislative session linked to her departure. Preliminary figures included in the final tally show it cost the state almost $14,100 for the July 26 swearing-in ceremony of new Gov. Sean Parnell, as well as roughly $3,328 for moving Palin and her family from the Governor’s Mansion in Juneau. Not included is the estimated $100,000 it cost for a one-day special session in which lawmakers approved Palin’s pick to replace Parnell as lieutenant governor and overrode her veto of federal stimulus funds intended for energy efficiency projects. Hmmm…looks like someone has some
“S’PLAININ'” to do.
