Title: Anne Kilkenny on Sarah Palin
Post by: Kate Thomas on September 07, 2008, 02:24:18 AM
Here is the email from Anne Kilkenny on Sarah Palin! The Anne Kilkenny email or open letter on Sarah Palin is from Kilkenny, a resident of Wasilla.  (http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/kilkenny.asp)
Anne Kilkenny's email first went to her mom in California, and by Sunday was in the hands of 48 people.



QuoteThe huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration weren't enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encourage the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a new library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of a multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece of property that the City didn't even have clear title to, that was still in litigation 7 yrs later–to the delight of the lawyers involved! The sports complex itself is a nice addition to the community but a huge money pit, not the profit-generator she claimed it would be.

EDIT: Same great letter, just served from a site with less (and less questionable) advertising... Karen

Ah, at least in that sense she is mainstream.  That's happened all over.  But the rest is perfect.  Hard to imagine anyone less qualified.

Well, she fits right in with the idiots in D.C. that's for sure.

Yeah, but most of them at least try to fake it.

Perhaps she has taken a few too many slap shots to the head.
