Got any sources for this? I was looking around earlier and couldn't find anything but bloggers. Basically the same folks that said the kid was her daughter's.
If she kept the cash, it's gotta be in a budget somewhere.
On a side note- now that her daughter's pregnant wonder if she's going to be against abstinence only education after she was for it?
Edit-
It's actually on page two of the article I sourced:
Quote:
The state, however, never gave back any of the money that was originally earmarked for the Gravina Island bridge, said Weinstein and Elerding.
In fact, the Palin administration has spent "tens of millions of dollars" in federal funds to start building a road on Gravina Island that is supposed to link up to the yet-to-be-built bridge, Weinstein said.
"She said 'thanks but no thanks,' but they kept the money," said Elerding about her applause line.

Sorry I thought the article only had one page.
But yes it seems she not only was in favor of the bridge before she was against it but she also lied about giving the money back.
Exactly why did the McCain Campaign pick this lady?
