A few govt officials have been charged and others are still being investigated. Is this just the way of the world..my guess is its nothing new under the sun. It just comes down to how much power and clout people have and who the media favors on any given day. I think back to the Chicago Professor Ward Churchill who finally was vindicated and won $1 in court for being wrongfully terminated over free speech issues...though he didn't get back pay or reinstated, he got the satisfaction of showing up the University in a court of law. Let's get real here---yes, he probably ommitted giving proper credit in some of his papers---but the ugly truth (like it or not) is that about half of all college professors out there (and I would include dead ones such as Leo Strauss) probably broke some rules and played that game. I know, cause I've talked to quite a few. The question isn't if the game is being played, the question is who is getting caught and who is being shielded and why? As an American I'm not really all that concerned about who is building Palins houses, why, and what they paid (if anything)..you can't take it with you and your kids will only piss it away when you're gone. Who cares---I don't. But, I am real concerned about the rape of our environment up there in that beautiful state that I had the opportunity to see back in the 1980's. I don't pretend to know Alaskan's but what struck me about the people up there (I was more than a tourist--but not a full resident) was their respect for diversity, their love of freedom, their almost protective nature toward individualism even if it bordered on extreme eccentricity, and their love of the land. I felt that AK was in good hands knowing that all those rugged individuals were up there keeping watch over the environment. I get a different impression today. It seems that there is a real conservative, neocon, dog-eat-dog vibe up there in AK now, like a stench or a boil that needs to be lanced. Whatever happened to the "don't tread on me" spirit? When did all the lawyers and oil politicians shanghi your state? There were always lumberjacks in AK but they used to read Ezra Pound and write poetry...where did they all go? And I remember native people that had a reverence for the land that you couldn't put into words; I guess now they are all like Todd on snowmobiles and doing talk shows? The stench is in the politics, and it's in the air and it's all over this country. I don't object to your Governor Palin because she talks plain and so people make fun of her....big deal, coherent speeches aren't her strong suit, so what...Will Rogers stuterred didn't he? But I do worry about all the things she stands for, alienating people with "small town values" talk, as though people who live in cities don't have appropriate values. The close ties between government up there and the gas and oil industry scare me, I wonder if Alaskans are thinking about it too? here in my ohio county there are commissioners under fbi probe for allegedly accepting “favors” from contractors for stuff like finishing their driveways and built-in pools; then steering county contracts their way.

Also remember our market has not crashed, I bought my home 2 years ago and have around 40K equity. My brother built his around the same time and has 100K or 50% equity or so. we have a lowes, a home depot and then spenard builders supply that everyone uses in wasilla for building materials my family has built no less than 5 houses in the past 25 years and we have all used sbs I believe they have the only truss manufacturing plant so of course they were involved in both construction jobs.

But does the $522,000 include the land? And is this the recent appraised value, or the actual costs of the house (if permits are required, these usually drastically underestimate the true costs). If you have contractor "friends," you can save some of the Profit and Overhead, and contractors get better prices from suppliers because they are frequent shoppers. One needs to know all of the costs, and then look at what the standard price is to see if there are any favors. Of course, if the builder had a non-residential project, too, you can hide a lot of costs there, too. I have contractor clients that do that all the time - they love the "change orders."

Literllay, as in pounded nails, sawed wood, painted walls. We have a mortgage of 75K and our house would probably appraise at about 175 to 200K. My husband has a lot of friends in the construction industry who came and helped, whom he has helped over the years. We live in a rural community not unlike Wasilla and besides Lowe's there are only two builders supply places to buy our materials from. City folks just don't get it. Given property values in Alaska and the size of their home, this is a modest house for a family of seven and one spouse who is the state governor and the other who is a world champion snowmobile racer. Most of the doctors in my town live in bigger nicer houses than this. You obsessed lefty Palin Haters need to find another tree to pee on. This one is a no go. My husband and I built our house.

Spendards is the largest building supply house in town and they definitely have the best prices. Nearly everyone gets their construction supplies there, and more than half the people I know here build their own houses with help from friends.

Come on guys, she is an expert opportunist. Most people who have hepled her career, have been bowled over or screwed over by her including McCain, she started running for 2012 two weeks into the campaign (remember her comments about Michigan) and anyone else who stands in the way of her rise to power. The power who she believes is her destiny. Queen Sarah will not stop until she is in the White house or in ruins by her own hand. The latter of which I believe will be her destiny. Someone she stepped on or who she will step on, is going to blow the whislte on her. And then her house of cards built illegaly or unethically will fold.
