Sarah Palin’s under political fire once again. Only this time, it’s not over her clothes or her shoes, or her family affairs, but for refusing stimulus cash.

The Alaska governor says she’s only going to take up to 69 percent of the $930 million her state could receive. All right, that’s fine, she wants to save money — but some are concerned over where she’s looking to spend her stimulus. Rather than focus on education, for which she could get $170 million, or other government operations, the governor’s looking at shovel-ready construction projects. "We are not requesting funds intended to just grow government," Palin said, adding that Alaskans shouldn’t want the feds to "engineer" their future for them. "To me it’s a bribe. It’s here, take these dollars. But you’ve got to grow your government."

Anchorage school district’s superintendent, Carol Comeau, told The Anchorage Daily News she is "shocked and very disappointed" Palin turned down the school money. But Palin said it’s a matter of what Alaska can afford to pay for after the federal dollars dry up.

Palin isn’t the only governor saying "no" to the federal funds. South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford wants to use his state’s allotted $700 million or so to pay down the Palmetto State’s debts, which, in turn, will allow it to spend more on schools. But it remains to be seen whether Palin or Sanford will face a fight from their state legislatures. Chances are likely there will be some sort of brawl. Alaska lawmakers will introduce a "safety net" resolution next week, "when we pass the resolution that basically says we’ll take anything the governor doesn’t," House Finance co-chair Rep. Mike Hawker told KTVA-TV.

The Democratic National Committee blasted Palin’s move as "political posturing," entitling one e-mail "Hypocrisy Watch: Palin’s Conversion on Federal Money." "Palin’s Never Seen a Federal Dollar She Didn’t Want … Until Now," the e-mail says, according to The Huffington Post. Ouch!
