Sarah Palin - ''I am so sorry I'm such a weasel''
She doesn't sound like a Maverick in this ... used the Google 2001c search.


Palin on fence on tax cap

Just where does Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin stand on the statewide property tax initiative?

The Kodiak Daily Mirror, covering the Alaska Conference of Mayors meeting there last week, reported Palin, the group's incoming president, was having second thoughts about the tax cap.

Palin is one of the 40,000 Alaskans who signed petitions to get the measure on the November ballot. She now believes voters will reject it, and she can understand why.

''As the weeks have gone by, I've seen more of the potential problems,'' Palin told reporter Heidi Zemach. Among them is the loss of local control, she said, which would be especially hard on rural cities and boroughs.

But in Wasilla this week, where sentiment is usually pretty strong against government spending and taxes, Palin struggled to stay perched on the fence as she negotiated traffic during a car-phone interview.

''I'm certainly not wavering in my support of it being on the ballot,'' Palin declared.

Does that mean she'd vote for it?

''I still have five more weeks to make up my mind, like everybody's trying to do,'' Palin said. ''I wish it were not a statewide issue.''

Palin said she has declined requests by Tax Cap Yes to speak in favor of the initiative. Yet, she said, she doesn't object to her name's continuing to be listed on the group's Web site among 10 current or former government officials -- half from Mat-Su -- in support of the initiative.

Palin acknowledged that she was sounding quite the politician. ''I am so sorry I'm such a weasel,'' she said.
