Palin, as mayor, hired a lobbyist for their tiny town to bring in the big government money. And it did. And Palin loved it.
And she was FOR the bridge to nowhere--until it became a national joke. Then she just took the 235 million and did NOT build the bridge. But she kept the money.
When she left as mayor of the tiny burg of Wasilla, it was $20 million dollars in debt. Lobbying, wasteful with government money, lying, governing with incompetence, and ballooning the debt. Yes, she is a typical Republican.
