This is a cut in special needs services to children in Alaska of 5,109,300 , or 62%.
Marline did you notice that in 07 budget set by previous gov. was $8,265,300 and in 08 set by palin it's $3,156,000 same as in 09 which equals a decrease or slash as they call it of 62%...? Alaska legislature set the increase that will in go into effect in 2011, 3 years from now!
Did you take a look at the Budget vetoes for 08 from: brain trauma center invaluable for returning soldiers reason vetoed "not a state responsibility" all items to do with the arts, parks wildlife, etc. all ongoing projects have to do with road building or the gas line. Not exactly small town community values. She talks out of both sides of her mouth.
For traditional family values but can not exhibit any, mom of 5, 1, joined the army because he was arrested. He has lived this last year in Mich. and wanted nothing to do with mom. Younger 3 too young to get into trouble yet. When you put your motherhood out for exhibit you better be darn sure that it s for the right reasons and will do no harm to children. She hasn't exhibited that which shows me that her judgment is flawed and is just self interested for her own political gain. BOOOOO!
