It turns out that Sarah Palin resigned as Governor of Alaska for a number of reasons. For one thing, a federal indictment might be on the way. When she was Mayor of Wasilla, she oversaw construction of a $12.5 million dollar sports complex. It turns out that the guys who did the work on that project were all contributors of hers. And her new house was built at the same time. She says her husband built it, with friends. But the materials look like those used at the sports complex. Clic
