Now is Palin a Marxist too? Palin To Take Most Stimulus Funds ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will sign bills accepting most of the federal stimulus funds available to the state, her spokeswoman said Tuesday. Palin initially said she would accept only about two-thirds of the $930 million available to Alaska. Palin had warned about the state having to finance projects created by the stimulus funds after the federal money runs out. She earlier called the stimulus package "an unsustainable, debt-ridden package of funds." Alaska's Legislature conducted more than 20 public hearings on the federal stimulus package, and legislative leaders said they couldn't find any of the strings attached to the funds that Palin had warned about. They passed bills accepting nearly all the funds before the April 19 adjournment. Palin spokeswoman Sharon Leighow said the message that Palin was going to reject stimulus funds was misconstrued. "She's never said she's rejecting anything. She's been consistent we need to hear from the public, thus the legislative hearings," Leighow said. The only funds Palin will reject, Leighow said, will be nearly $29 million for a State Energy Program she says are tied to adopting a statewide energy code. Alaska's vast expanse and wide-ranging conditions are not conducive to such an energy code, Palin said. Leighow anticipates the legislative bills covering the stimulus will be sent to Palin by early next week. She will have 20 business days to sign or veto them. © 2009 Associated Press.
