As Mayor of Wasilla, Palin eagerly sought earmarked funds and used Ted Stevens to get those funds. She was part of the earmarked funds culture so prevalent in the State of Alaska.

In fiscal year 2002, Wasilla took in $6.1 million in earmarks -- about $1,000 in federal money for every resident. By contrast, Boise, Idaho -- which has more than 190,000 residents -- received $6.9 million in earmarks in fiscal 2008.

All told, Wasilla benefited from $26.9 million in earmarks in Palin's final four years in office.
