Wasilla was the target of a 2000 law supported by then-Governor Tony Knowles requiring municipal police departments to pay for forensic examinations of rape victims. Until the passage of the law, rape victims in Wasilla were billed for the examinations and materials, known as Rape Kits, which cost between $300 and $1,200 at the time. Wasilla Police Chief Charlie Fannon was opposed to the law, saying the city would have to pay $5,000 to $14,000 a year for the exams and materials, which would ultimately be paid by Wasilla taxpayers.[1][2][3] - - After Wasilla's mayor hired a well known professional lobbyist,[4] Wasilla residents became among the highest per capita recipients of earmark benefits in the nation, receiving in excess of $6 million dollars at a time when its population was approximately 6,000 citizens.[5] In 2005, Wasilla received national attention when a bridge providing secondary access to Wasilla was dubbed one of the two “bridge to nowhere” projects by fiscal conservatives, pointing to the two bridges as examples of pork barrel spending. As of 2008, the bridge that would benefit Wasilla, known as the Knik Arm Bridge, was in the planning and review stages, and was estimated to cost $1 billion.[6][7]
