Palin rejects nearly 30% of stimulus
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she will accept just 69% of the estimated $930 million in federal stimulus funds that could flow to the state.
Palin's original announcement Thursday that she was accepting just over half the stimulus package funds did not include $128 million in Medicaid stimulus money she is accepting.
The former vice presidential candidate says she will accept only money without strings that will bind the state later. It's up to the Legislature to weigh in on the rest of the package.

So - Palin can't count accurately (well, 69% is sorta like "just over half", except it's not), and she only wants money from us she doesn't have to account for.
