She is going to sponsor (or at least be the first signer) of the initiative on Parental notification of a child’s abortion that the legislature didn’t pass during the session. She doesn’t understand that the Governor is suppose to be neutral in such things. *********** I read the article regarding that on ADN and she says she believes she is just as entitled to 1st Amendment Rights as the next person and is only NOT SPONSORING the bill herself (which is what she REALLY wanted to do) because she got feedback from lawyers that if she did so it would invite more of those pesky ethics complaints. So, instead, she's going to be the first in line to sign the petition or whatever. In that same article, in at least 2 places she had to arrogantly add something about the "new trend" in AK politics to file ethics complaints. It was so utterly juvenile it made my stomach turn. This woman has no conscience. Soldotna Sue Says:

And, what if she weds/engages and they all live in SP's house? Do these new ''First Family'' members as it's currently applied get on the State's teat, also?

Someone may need to file ethics charges against whoever is approving those benefits within her administration. That would be a new twist on things and certainly get some proper attention and cause the department to CLARIFY the State's policiies. This ''First Family'' term is being vaguely applied. Is there precedent for this or is it being created by her now? Is the term defined, somewhere, or does everyone just ''guess'' at what it means. So if BP lives with SP during her next term (should she be re-elected) I guess she and Tripp are covered, again, too. Which brings up another point: Who is picking up the post natal care tab for Tripp? Is this covered under ''First Family'' in her State insurance policy?

NOT right. Travel records I've received in response to records requests show that family travel is still being paid for with state funds...including Bristol. The operative phrase "First Family..." is included in the purpose portion of the travel authorizations. And Todd's trips are paid too...purpose of trip is "Meeting with Executive Residence Manager for update on House Projects and Schedule." Makes one wonder about conflicts of interests re: per diem claims. aha Says:
