ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska's top finance officer will review payments made to Gov. Sarah Palin for nights she charged the state for staying in her own home.
Finance Director Kim Garnero said she must determine whether the payments made to Palin in the future should be considered income.
Garnero said, "That's something we need to confer with the governor's office on."
Palin has received more than $17,000 in per diem payments since taking office in December 2006 for 312 nights she stayed in her Wasilla home about an hour's drive from Anchorage. The state provides a home for the governor in Juneau.
Garnero said her review would look at future payments, not those already made.
Palin is the Republican vice presidential nominee.
