Thread Name: BS: Sarah Palin will resign on July 26!
Subject: RE: BS: Sarah Palin will resign on July 26!
This is what I posted on this thread yesterday...
"Rumor has it the truth about their home that was built using materials from the hockey center (that she put Wasilla in debt with) will be coming to light. We'll see."

I'm seeing more reference now to the materials they used to build their house.... as the "iceberg scandal" about to hit the Palins.

from Firedoglake.com

"Though Todd Palin told Fox News he built his Lake Lucille home with the help of a few "buddies," according to Barrett's report, public records revealed that SBS supplied the materials for the house. While serving as mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin blocked an initiative that would have required the public filing of building permits—thus momentarily preventing the revelation of such suspicious information.

Just months before Palin left city hall to campaign for governor, she awarded a contract to SBS to help build the $13 million Wasilla Sports Complex. The most expensive building project in Wasilla history, the complex cost the city an addition $1.3 million in legal fees and threw it into severe long-term debt. For SBS, however, the bloated and bungled project was a cash cow."

There is an in-depth article in the Village Voice on this subject. Back during the presidential campaign, I posted a link to the Village Voice article somewhere in one of the Mudcat threads.
