there is an article in the Anchorage Daily News about her issues on the ticket. She and her staffers have to go thru her suitcases and return things that aren’t theirs, including gifts. Before you guys send gifts, please take note:
“Stapleton said another question is what’s going to happen with the “boxes and boxes and boxes” of gifts either given to Palin or a family member on the campaign trail, or shipped to her in Alaska. She said the gifts have to be valued to see what Palin is allowed to keep, and what she has to disclose.”
Government officials usually can keep gifts that are under a certain dollar value. For Governors, I don’t know what that is...if it varies from state to state, or if they are under federal guidelines.

A $20 box of nuts or a $30 dollar bear shouldn't be a problem. jmo
