Palin vetoes include some stimulus money: Government | adn.com
Palin’s written statement to the press said she was vetoing a total of $80 million. But that includes the $28.6 in energy stimulus money as well as $35 million that was really just a transfer between two accounts within the state budget.
What is it with that woman that prevents her from telling the truth? Does she really think Alaskans are that stupid, or does she simply have zero respect for her constituents? Is it only a coincidence that she makes this announcement so close to the first major holiday of the summer? Think maybe she hopes that by Tuesday Alaskans will have forgotten her being a traitor to the State of Alaska?
The operating budget (government) continues to grow. She cuts projects that would have provided much needed private sector jobs. Then has the unmitigated gall and audacity to refuse to accept federal funds because of non-existent “strings”.
Alaskans, we need to ban together, write our representatives and tell them we want them to call themselves into special session and override the Governor’s cuts. We need to let them know, and the Governor know, that we aren’t going to take a back seat to Palin’s political aspirations. We need to let them know that we are fed up with Palin’s lies. They need to know that we expect them to do their jobs and represent their constituents best interests and not allow that megalomaniac continue to ruin our state and our futures. Even if she still refuses to accept the money, put her on record as thinking she knows better than 2/3 of the Legislature and the majority of Alaskans.
Find your representative here and write them today. Don’t let her get away with this. Here is what I sent to my representatives:
I’m a constituent in your district, as my representative in Juneau I want you to work with other legislators to call yourselves into special session to override Palin’s vetoes. To me it is unconscionable to turn down Federal Assistance and cut construction projects that would provide much needed private sector jobs.
Even if she still refuses to accept the federal money, she will be on record as putting her personal ambitions ahead of the citizens of Alaska. Don’t let her get away with this.
