She didn’t finish her term? Why not?
it’s a long story. not all of it pretty, imho.
Because of constant lawsuits being filed by Democrats. Alaskan state government does not reimburse the governor for legal expenses or something along those lines. The result was that it was impossible to continue.
That said, Palin did annihilate the establishment in Alaska before she left office.
She immediately began to have to respond to ethics complaints, 25 in all. Most were filed by one Democrat woman in Anchorage. In Alaska, it costs virtually nothing to file ethics complaints against public officials. However, the official must pay for their own defense. It costs them about $25,000.00 for each complaint.
Before becoming Governor, Mrs Palin was a middle class citizen. The Palins had a nice home and her husband, Todd, had a job on the North Slope.
Multiply 25 X $25,000.00 and see what you get. ($625,000.00) In addition, Sarah was having to spend much of her time fighting these frivolous complaints, and felt she was letting the State down. This was leading this middle-class family rapidly into bankruptcy as well as, she felt, cheating the people who had elected her.
She had been offered a large sum of money for a book, which she was not allowed to accept while in office. She did what seemed to her to be the best answer, both for her constituents and her family. She resigned and wrote the book. She also prevailed in the frivolous ethics complaints.
Since then,and her unfortunate connection wit Sen John McCain, she has been living rent free in Democrat's heads.
