CBS reports on Palin's big accomplishment as Mayor of Wasilla: the contruction of an indoor sports complex. The key point anti-tax conservatives should focus in on:
Palin funded the project by pushing a special referendum that raised the sales tax by 25 percent. City hall records show the referendum was passed by twenty votes.
Palin's selection appears to have been all about her cultural conservatism and demographic appeal -- not any sort of anti-tax zeal. As for the top of the ticket, Club For Growth has plenty to worry about with him, too.
