WSJ: Palin's Hockey Rink Leads To Legal Trouble in Town She Led (Josh Marshall: Oops)
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 09:13 PM by ProSense

Oops ...

By Josh Marshall

From the WSJ ...

The biggest project that Sarah Palin undertook as mayor of this small town was an indoor sports complex, where locals played hockey, soccer, and basketball, especially during the long, dark Alaskan winters.

The only catch was that the city began building roads and installing utilities for the project before it had unchallenged title to the land. The misstep led to years of litigation and at least $1.3 million in extra costs for a small municipality with a small budget. What was to be Ms. Palin's legacy has turned into a financial mess that continues to plague Wasilla.


On edit, the WSJ title is worth noting: Palin's Hockey Rink Leads To Legal Trouble in Town She Led

3. I guess planning ahead is given as little though by Palin as by Bush
How do you start building anything before getting the land?
