Gov. Sarah Palin, touted by Republican presidential nominee John McCain as a reformer when he selected her to be his running mate, will send $2,100 to three charities to account for tainted 2006 donations to her gubernatorial campaign.
Palin said Friday she has approved giving back money that came from two Alaska politicians implicated in a sweeping federal corruption probe, plus money donated from the wife of one of the men.
A McCain campaign spokesman said Palin selected three Alaska-based charities: Abused Women's Aid in Crisis and Crisis Pregnancy Center, both in Anchorage, and Special Olympics Alaska. The campaign says the donations will be made next week, possibly as early as Monday.
