“Her supporters say she helped Wasilla evolve from a ridiculed backwater to fast-growing suburb.  But her critics say too much growth too quickly has made a mess of what not long ago was homesteaded farmland.”

“For some, Ms. Palin’s first months in office here were so jarring — and so alienating — that an effort was made to force a recall. About 100 people attended a meeting to discuss the effort, which was covered in the local press, but the idea was dropped.”

“Shortly after becoming mayor, former city officials and Wasilla residents said, Ms. Palin approached the town librarian about the possibility of banning some books.”
