Default Re: McCain's VP: Gov. Palin is chosen

I've been reading her Wikipedia talk page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sarah_Palin

Quite long but interesting and you get pretty much all sides of the issues.

One thing I found so far is this:

Now that she is of national import, please consider adding additional information regarding her tenure as mayor of Wasilla. Specifically, her involvement in the controversial land aquisition for a regional sports complex [13]. According to this article, the city raised sales taxes, used emminent domain on the property, then lost a lawsuit to the rightful owner. Eventually they paid over $1.25 million, for a property that they could have purchased for $125,000. The city's finances are still reeling from this action, and contruction of the $14.7 million facility [14]. Ljmajer (talk) 10:28, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Note that the comment is sourced. The bold is my highlight, a practice I disagree with vehemently. Although spending 10x the amount of money that should have been spent shouldnt be taken very lightly.
