::This line seems problematic to me "Irl Stambaugh was reportedly surprised to hear that the police department was charging; he said when he was chief of police, he had included a line item in the budget to pay for the cost of such exams. The budget during his tenure shows a line item called Contractual Services, that paid for "evidence collection for sexual assaults"; Contractual Services line item on p. G-26 of the linked PDF labelled: "PDF"; other links show the cuts to the budget that line item was cut by more than half during Palin's tenure.". 

 ::First off I dont think the Huffington Post is really a reliable source, it is overtly partisan and more of a blog than a news source.  Secondly, why are we including this in the first place?  Seems to me that this is being included to give the impression that Palin activly tried to avoid having the city pay for rape kits, which would be at least wp:OR and an wp:NPOV problem to boot.  Without more information, we have no idea why the budget for this item was cut and what effect it had, if any.
