Sarah Palin, by the Numbers
Daniel Kurtzman
Huffington Post
Sarah Palin may lie, but numbers don't. Her record speaks for itself:
2007: the year in which Sarah Palin first obtained a passport
312: the number of nights during her first 19 months in office that Palin charged taxpayers a "per diem" totaling $16,951 for staying in her own home -- an allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business
$500 to $1,200: the fee that Wasilla charged rape victims to pay for post-sexual assault medical exams, after the city cut funds during Palin's tenure that had previously covered the exams
$150: the cash payment offered by the Palin administration to hunters who turn in legs of freshly killed wolves gunned down from airplanes
3: the number of times during her first few weeks as mayor that Palin inquired with the Wasilla librarian about banning books
3: the number of months after the censorship discussion that Palin fired the librarian
