WASILLA, Alaska — Gov. Sarah Palin lives by the maxim that all politics is local, not to mention personal.
So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as one of her qualifications for running the roughly $2 million agency.
Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages.
When Ms. Palin had to cut the 2007 state budget, she avoided the legion of frustrated legislators and mayors. Instead, she huddled with her budget director and her husband, Todd, an oil field worker who is not a state employee, and vetoed millions of dollars of legislative projects.

SO SCREW YOU NY TIMES!
How dare she hire people she trusts and knows.
Well I guess it’s a good thing she doesn’t have friends like Tony Rezko, Billy Ayers and the good “reverend Wright.”
I wish they’d go under already.
Imagine that, she hired trustworthy people and opposed those who wouldn’t support her.
What next? Todd once peed in the snow?
The MSM has lied at every opportunity. Why listen to anything that they say now?

Now why couldn’t she hire her enemies, like Democrats do when they are in office.
And as far as who she huddled with before vetoing spending, I couldn’t give a rat’s Obama, as long as she did in fact veto the pork.
Where is the 'scandal', NY Slimes ???????????????
LOL...is this the best the NYT can do? It’s a far cry from their usual hit pieces on Republicans and almost seems a parody.

Exactly. Who reads the NY Times? Liberals in NYC? No big deal. NY Times = Fish Wrap.
At this point what ever comes out on the left will be viewed as Sarah Palin bashing. What we see in Sarah the left does not. What we do beieve is that we will not forget where all this nonsense came from! Get those shopping carts out you will be hitting the streets soon.
And maybe, just maybe, getting advice from ... her husband?! Imagine Bill Clinton asking for help from his spouse. Unimaginable./s
Just pathetic.
When I look back to what the democrat party was when JFK was elected and compare it to what it has become today I almost want to weep.
She knew everybody in town. Of course, she hired a friend. They’ve got nothing, and every one of these “dud” articles innoculates her further from future smears. You know, NYT, when you have an 80% approval rating in your state, you’re doing something very right. If you want a story go look into Bill Ayers.
