Wasilla Resident Speaks Out

Interesting letter being circulated by Anne Kilkenny, a Wasilla, Alaska resident

Interesting that Palin ran for Mayor of Wasilla and Governor of Alaska as a'fiscal conservative.' And boy did she ever, she fit the model perfectly: wasting and spending money under the cloak of cutting taxes and saving the common people money!

The Following Quotes are from a letter being circulated by Anne Kilkenny, a Wasilla, Alaska resident who has claims to have known Palin since 1992:
http://www.andrys.com/palin-kilkenny.html

"The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administrationweren’t enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowedmoney was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left itwith indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encouragethe voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she saidshe supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or anew library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of amulti-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a pieceof property that the City didn’t even have clear title to. "

And in case you were wondering....

"While Mayor, City Hall was extensively remodeled and her officeredecorated more than once."

According to TheNation:
She is, as well, someone who has clashed with Palin. More than a decade ago, when Palin was campaigning to ban books, Kilkenny says, "I was one of the 100 or so people who rallied to support the City Librarian against Sarah's attempt at censorship."
