OK, executive experience as a small-town Mayor is a key qualification for Sarah Palin. So, what kind of shape did Mayor Palin leave Wasilla in?
This is a March 2005 article, a couple years after Palin was done as Mayor of Wasilla:
WASILLA - The Matanuska-Susitna area is the methamphetamine capital of Alaska, according to Alaska State Troopers.
In 2003, authorities uncovered nine meth labs in the area. Last year, the number increased to 42, said Kyle Young, an investigator with the troopers who works with the Mat-Su narcotics team.
Officials with the Office of Children's Services in Wasilla said the problem affects children. The office receives about 40 calls a month from people reporting abuse or neglect involving some aspect of the highly addictive drug.
