Since Sarah Palin joined John McCain on the Republican ticket in late August, news outlets, as well as nonprofits and private citizens, have besieged her office with public records requests, seeking all sorts of documents related to her tenure as Alaska’s governor. Some have requested access to her calendar and travel records. Others have asked for emails and memoranda concerning the firing of Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan or a controversial ballot measure that would have placed new restrictions on mining companies, along with a number of other state matters. One news outlet asked for documentation to the “remodeling and/or redecorating of the governor’s offices and/or state-owned mansions in Anchorage” during Palin’s governorship. Mother Jones filed several of its own public records requests (see David Corn’s article for more on that), including one for all of the records requests that were submitted between August 29 and September 23, 2008. Wanna know what dirt the national press is after? Read on for an abridged list and see here [PDF] for all the requests sent to Palin’s office.
