This one from Salon, quoting, surprise, a political opponent:
Four years later, the ambitious Palin won the Wasilla mayor’s office — after scorching the “tax and spend mentality” of her incumbent opponent. But Carney, Palin’s estranged former mentor, and others in city hall were astounded when they found out about a lavish expenditure of Palin’s own after her 1996 election. According to Carney, the newly elected mayor spent more than $50,000 in city funds to redecorate her office, without the council’s authorization.
Interestingly, I can’t find any mention of this in any source before the Salon story. In particular, neither the Anchorage Daily News nor the Wat-Su Frontiersman seem to have it.
Anyone who can find a more contemporaneous source?
Update: a commenter at Just One Minute (I’ve lost the link for the moment) did a Lexis/Nexis search and can’t find anything about it before the Salon feature.
I think this one has to go into the “Salon will print anything if it fits their agenda” category.

No, Sarah is not a John Bircher..
want a laugh? Someone in the comments comparing Sarah to the ‘Beast’ in Revelations in the Bible..
No, Sarah is not the harlot in Revelations.
Tim Lahay (sp?) has a pretty good study on Revelations and who the woman on the red beast would be..

might be a dead end.. but trying to help out with some postings..
I believe it is generally agreed upon that the harlot in Revelations is Babylon…
(I remember you talking that religion is not your expertise)
Well, not Christian religion, anyway. Hit me for some Buddhism or Taoism and I can tell a hawk from a handsaw.
The Bircher one is #88.
