I'll give an answer. Who cares?

Did she get a favor in return for hiring the contractor? Maybe.
Did the town get shafted by the contractor in return? Don't think so.
Was another contractor that submitted a better offer turned down? Don't think so.

So Palin gets a "thank you." Okay, maybe not the best thing to do if you're campaigning on ethical reform, but not the end of the world. Definitely not a "massive scandal" by any stretch of the imagination.

Contractors quite often give building scraps to people who ask for them. Maybe the Palins made friends with some of the contractors, and maybe they helped on the house free of charge.

The only scandal would be if this were a condition of their contract, which this story is EXTREMELY far from proving, or even insinuating!
