Why would that matter. If it was a small amount wouldn't it have been even easier for the town to pay for them? Is your argument that rape victims should have to pay if there's only 10 rapes a year instead of 100. I'd love to see you explain that to those rape victims in person.
Um.....are you serious? Rape doesn't occur there? How can you have charged victims of rape that didn't occur. Please calm down and think.

YOUR REPLY FROM A LIFELONG SMALL TOWN AMERICAN CITIZEN
It's totally obvious that the left wing of the democrat party such as yourself have never seen the workings of government in a very small town.
First of all--
will you site just exactly how many rapes over the last 20 or so years occurred in the township of Wasilla?
Since, I am politically involved with my small town here, here is my answer to your ridiculous response:
Within the city council of a small town & at town meetings the conversation centers around infracstructure of the town, & some of how can we fix drainage from running onto private party, along with a couple steady eddie's that show up to complain about Barney Fifes cat getting into their garden. "I know." I haved lived in a small town all my life.
Small town budgets are done yearly--they do not allocate (or set aside) money for things they do not need.
Setting money aside for rape kits in a small town that virtually has no violence would be the equivalent of setting aside money for the protection of tropical palm trees in downtown Wasilla.
Of course, Palm trees do not or cannot exist in Wasilla, Alaska.
Once more, in small towns we DO actually take care of our own. Our churches get involved, our neighbors get involved, & we would dole out much more money to a victim of a crime, (typically burgalary) than $300 to $1200 in support.
We don't need laws to tell us to do that.
You smear blogger attack liberals are acting like Wasilla, Alaska is the rape captial of the United States. It's another bogus attack on Sarah Palin, based on a remark from a small town policeman or simply put--based on
ZERO, NOTHING, NADA.
