Palin’s big spending detailed

Along with oil-in-the-hog-trough Alaskan pigs

Wasilla spediong up 55 percent during her six years as mayor and Alaska spending up 31 percent during her two years as governor, per official financial records.

And, that 31 percent increase in state spending is almost all in operations, not capital funding for municipalities, roads, etc. So, has Palin been padding the budget with bloated staff?

And, it’s the pig-out over high-price oil money fueling the statewide “surge,” per Democratic Rep, Mike Duggan:
“The legislature is chewing through the financial bonanza brought by higher oil taxes and higher oil prices at a prodigious rate.”

Go ahead and secede, First Dumbass Todd and others. Wait until the oil runs out.
