Line 93:
Line 93: − − ===Other Criticisms=== − − Critics of Palin have pointed out that in the first 19 months as Governor, she billed Alaska taxpayers for 312 nights spent in her own home, charging against a "per diem" allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business.<ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/08/AR2008090803088.html?hpid=topnews</ref> In later submissions Palin removed explicit references to staying at her personal home, but submitted for the per diem allowance anyway <ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/graphic/2008/09/09/GR2008090900280.html?sid=ST2008090900325&s_pos=list</ref><br />The submission and reimbursement for these expenses is permitted because her official "duty station" as Governor is Juneau. However, Palin's use of tax dollars to reimburse her for staying in her own home while calling it business travel appears to be at odds with her image as a reformer and fiscal disciplinarian.
