===Other Criticism===
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 during, charging 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> 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.
