Sarah Palin Reality Show Received $1million Tax Credit – Washington DC RNC | Examiner.com

Tonight seems to be Sarah Palin night…

She’s been a busy little Momma Grizzley!

And it’s all starting to come out…

I can’t wait for the new tell all book coming from one of her former closest aides….

I do give her credit for one thing:  She sure knows how to make a buck!

She just doesn’t want to help anyone else get ahead-or survive.

“Sarah Palin’s Alaska”, the reality mini-series staring the former governor and her family, is the beneficiary of a $1.2million state tax credit due to 2008 legislation signed by Palin which allows for film and television productions in the state to write-off 30% of their on location costs, as reported by the Anchorage Daily News. The bill was passed in order to promote production in the state.

The reality series was a moderate ratings success for TLC. The network spent $3.6million filming in the state with Alaska’s numerous forests and snow-peaked mountains serving as the backdrop.

Palin was elected governor in 2006, the first woman and the youngest governor in Alaskan history, and prematurely resigned in 2009 citing her intention to not become a ‘lame-duck’ governor. Since her retirement Palin has made millions in book deals, a Fox News contributor contract, and the 8-part reality show.

According to reports, Palin earned somewhere between $250,000-$1million per episode.
