Despite denials by the Palin campaign, new evidence proves that as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Sarah Palin had a direct hand in imposing fees to pay for post-sexual assault medical exams conducted by the city to gather evidence.
Palin's role is now confirmed by Wasilla City budget documents available online.
Under Sarah Palin's administration, Wasilla cut funds that had previously paid for the medical exams and began charging victims or their health insurers the $500 to $1200 fees.

Totally sick. The Gov of Alaska, whom Palin later replaced, then had to write a statute into Alaska law to stop the practice.
It's also worth noting that Joe Biden wrote US laws against this practice, co-authored by Obama. McCain voted against funding the measure.
