A little dissapointing

With Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry and Mark Sanford both rejecting all of the federal stimulus money I was expecting Sarah Palin to do the same. But she has decided to only reject 30% of the money allotted for Alaska.

It's up to the Alaska Legislature to request hundreds of millions of dollars in federal stimulus funds from the federal government.

Gov. Sarah Palin said Thursday that she would accept only 69 percent of the estimated $930 million dollars that could flow to the state, including $514 million for capital projects and $128 million for a hike in Medicaid reimbursement.

Palin said she would accept money that is "timely, targeted and temporary" and does not create strings that will bind the state in the future.

"I can't attest to every fund that's being offered the state in the stimulus package will be used to create jobs and stimulate the economy, so I'm requesting only those things that I know will," Palin said at a news conference at the Capitol. "Public discussion will have to ensue on all those other dollars that some will say 'you left on the table.'"

There shouldn't be any Republican Governor in this country that accepts these funds. Sarah Palin, as one of the leading conservatives, should set an example as the 3 other Republican Governors have and rejected all the funds.
