Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s financial woes continue, as a special investigator hired by the Alaska Personnel Board looking into trips taken by the first family insists that Palin reimburse the state for nine trips taken by her children. Palin was accompanied by her daughter Bristol on one trip to New York to attend Newsweek’s annual Women and Leadership conference. According to the special investigator, the state of Alaska will only pay for family travel if family members serve an important state interest on the trip. Palin has 120 days to pay up.
