Sarah Palin’s political-action committee spent tens of thousands of dollars covering the costs of the former Alaska governor’s “One Nation” East Coast bus tour this spring — a trip that Palin has repeatedly characterized as a “family vacation.” SarahPAC’s expenditures were filed with the Federal Election Commission and published Thursday.
Palin’s committee spent nearly $14,000 on the “bus wrap” that festooned the family’s tour bus with images of the Liberty Bell, Constitution and American flag. The committee spent $10,000 on “logistical trip consulting,” $3,600 to the bus driver and at least $7,000 on lodging.
SarahPAC reported raising a total of nearly $1.7 million during the first six months of the year and having $1.4 million on hand June 30.
