I'm glad that Gov. Palin has, since being nominated for VP, decided to stop using earmarks to get what her state needs. It had really become a bad habit for her. The article I referenced was from Jan 2008 and Palin was getting criticism from people in her own state for cutting back earmarks. Here is what she said in her state of the State address Jan 15, 2008. "We can and must continue to develop our economy, because we cannot and must not rely so heavily on federal government earmarks. Instead, let us power up and produce for Alaska and America. We can do this – we’re 50 years old now, and it's time!" gov.state.ak.us
