note: this article was written years before the mayor of Wasilla became a national political figure. Fannon is the pollce chief she appointed after she fired the previous chief. the article was written about the bill signed by the governor to insure victims did not have to pay for the kit.

customary practice at the time in Alaska was for the police department to pay for the exam. in other areas of the country, it looks like sometimes the state pays and sometimes the hospital pays and sometimes it is billed to insurance. so i think the point is: Wasila being the only town in Alaska who made women pay seemed oddball.
