What Is Sarah Palin Building, and What Does It Mean?

[Pharaoh]

Experienced New York Times Alaska hand William Yardley has an intriguing dispatch from Wasilla in this morning's newspaper. He writes about the Palin family's relationship to the small town where Sarah Palin got her start as mayor and draws a mixed portrait: Palin is frequently on the road and isn't seen around town the way she used to be, but her husband, Todd, also tells the reporter that his family doesn't intend to move anywhere: "Where else would we go? Alaska is our home."

One of the more interesting nuggets is midway through the article:

Even the most concrete new development in the Palin family, an enormous structure rising beside their existing 3,400-square-foot house on Lucile Lake, is something of a mystery. Based on the limited evidence in the planning department at Wasilla City Hall (the city does not require building permits), the building's footprint alone is 6,000 square feet, but much of it is two stories. Various sources have said the project includes a television studio (Fox News, Heath said), apartments for Mr. Palin or the Palins' older children (Bristol Palin, 19, has said, however, that she is living on her own with Tripp and paying her own bills with the help of handsome speaking fees) and a well-appointed office for Ms. Palin.
