		<description>BoyScout, that would be rumor &lt;a href=&quot;http://explorations.chasrmartin.com/2008/09/18/87-palin-spent-50000-redecorating-her-office/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;#87&lt;/a&gt;.

As it notes, Carney is a &lt;i&gt;formal&lt;/i&gt; political mentor of Palin, from the time before she started to challenge the party establishment in Alaska.  I also note there that there appears to be &lt;i&gt;no&lt;/i&gt; contemporaneous recognition of this, and in fact there are no stories about it &lt;i&gt;except&lt;/i&gt; the very recent one, quoting Carney.

I further note that since Wasilla has a &lt;i&gt;total&lt;/i&gt; budget of about $12 million, he&#039;s suggesting that she managed to redirect about 4 percent of the city budget, without City Council approval or any notice in the press.

So it&#039;s seems very unlikely; if you have other support for it than the Salon article, I&#039;d love to see it.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d like to find out more about this quote from Nick Carney, a Palin political advisor.  He states that he asked about redirecting funds from a highway project to redecorate her office: &quot;When I braced her about that, her response, and I will never forget it, is &#039;I&#039;m the mayor and I can do anything I want until the courts say I can&#039;t,&#039;&quot;

		<description>From an anonymous poster at
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/09/20/womens_group_condemns_now_endo.html

Palin Used Part of the City’s Funds from the Alaska Revenue Sharing Fund to Fund Anti-Abortion Center. In 1997, Palin signed an ordinance appropriating $2,354 in funds to the Valley Crisis Pregnancy Center from the State of Alaska Revenue Sharing fund. The Valley Crisis Pregnancy Center lists itself as an “abortion alternative” in the Yellow Pages. [Ordinance 97-23, 4/14/1997; AlaskaYellowPages.com]</description>
