Alaska Governor and Republican Vice President hopeful Sarah Palin may be facing another round of scrutiny, this time for charging the state for her children to travel with her while conducing official state business.<\/p>\n

Bristol, Piper and Willow, Palin\u2019s daughters, accrued $32,629 in travel expenses while Palin\u2019s husband Todd raked up $22,174 – all billed to the state for a total of $54,803.00.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Governor\u2019s office has expended $54,803.00 in Alaska state dollars for family travel since December 2006,\u201d according to the Governor\u2019s Administrative Services Director, Linda Perez. \u201cThe documentation related to family travel has changed and you have to keep in mind that the governor and her family are very popular,\u201d added Perez.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So Sarah Palin is the economically conservative and responsible maverick<\/em>, but she has no problem spending $150,000 on her wardrobe<\/a>, giving her kids thousand dollar handbags<\/a>, or using tax payer money to fly her kids around the US<\/a>?<\/p>\n
