Breaking News: Palin to Reject Nearly $515 Million of Stimulus
KTVA ^ | March 19, 2009 | Joseph Russo

Posted on 03/19/2009 1:26:09 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

KTVA reports:

Governor Sarah Palin announced that she is proposing a bill that will allow the state to accept only 55-percent of federal recovery funds. Palin gave several examples that underlined her reasoning for wanting to reject the funds. In total, if the bill were passed, $515-million of the almost $1-billion would be rejected by the state.

Please keep in mind the language in the "stimulus" bill that allows the state legislature to go around the governor in accepting "stimulus" funds.

Just wait until her detractors start howling that she doesn’t have the best interests of Alaskans in mind and is selfish.

Well, the reason why they’ll complain is that everyone seems to want pork in their own backyard, but not in all the other states’ backyards... LOL..

Interesting I didn't know that the Congress could grant particular rights to state legislatures. 10th Amendment problem?

Probably figures she got enough with the earmarks in the budget bill...the highest per capita in the nation!

It’s all part of the new system of government that limits the power of a governor to whatever the president wants and the congress says.

Governor Palin will be the test case.

Well, Congress seems heck=bent to destroy Amendments 1 and 2, I doubt they'll let 10 get in their way.
