Palin taxes the victims

Feministing weighs in on the news we reported last night, that when she was mayor of Wasilla, the city charged rape victims for their own forensic exams. Wasilla was unique in Alaska in charging victims, per a press story at the time. And not that the story could get any worse, but apparently the reason they charged rape victims for their own police forensic exams was in order to keep taxes low. Yes, Palin's "tax cutting" policies led to rape victims being charged for their own exams, because low taxes was more important.
