Palin touts stance on 'Bridge to Nowhere,' doesn't note flip-flop: Gov. Sarah Palin | adn.com | NO. Sure, she sought the funds. All states do that. And then when the project became fiscally unfeasible she nixed the bridge project and used the money for other transportation projects, which is totally within the parameters of the federal funding.
What exactly is the false claim she is making?
