Whoa Nelly! Not that I'm surprised about this but Palin charged the state of Alaska for added expenses such as charging the state for working on Thanksgiving because she went to a basketball game. She also had them pay for her family's travel to Juneau. With such a large family, the daughters alone were $25,000 (see link above for WP article).
That said, she apparently spent less than the previous governor and often flies coach (according to this article but her husband paid $1,000 something to fly a governors convention and that doesn't sound like coach to me). She is also entitled to receive pay everyday even when she's not working. Ahhh, to be a governor. Will anyone vote for me? I'm thinking I might stand a chance in Rhode Island, they're small.
