Look at page 4 of the budget summary and you will see an increase from $26,328,100 in FY 2007 to $27,140,800 in FY 2009. According to Alaska Department of Health and Social Services spokesperson, Wilda Laughlin, actual WIC expenditures increased from fiscal year 2007 to FY 2008. Laughlin quoted a current WIC budget figure for FY 2009 of 27,173,100 which is an increase over the 2009 budget summary. Secondly - WIC is a 100% FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAM. Palin couldn't cut WIC funding if she wanted to. Here's a question for the forum since I'm kinda new here - has PoliticalAmazon ever posted anything that was actually TRUE about Sarah Palin? I mean, like...she's a woman? Or from Alaska? Anything? > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
