Palin's Hockey Rink Leads To Legal Trouble in Town She Led
WASILLA, Alaska -- The biggest project that Sarah Palin undertook as mayor of this small town was an indoor sports complex, where locals played hockey, soccer, and basketball, especially during the long, dark Alaskan winters.
The only catch was that the city began building roads and installing utilities for the project before it had unchallenged title to the land.

What was to be Ms. Palin's legacy has turned into a financial mess that continues to plague Wasilla.

At least Obama, as a "community organizer" didn't leave those he was trying to help, in worse shape, and more broke, than when he found them.
Note: Since Palin diaries are sprouting like weeds, I may have missed a previous diary that was already posted about this. If that's the case do let me know, and I'll delete.
