WASILLA, Alaska -- The biggest project that Sarah Palin undertook as mayor of this small town was an indoor sports complex, where locals played hockey, soccer, and basketball, especially during the long, dark Alaskan winters.
The only catch was that the city began building roads and installing utilities for the project before it had unchallenged title to the land. The misstep led to years of litigation and at least $1.3 million in extra costs for a small municipality with a small budget. What was to be Ms. Palin's legacy has turned into a financial mess that continues to plague Wasilla.

YEAH, PALIN FITS RIGHT IN...
like most GOP politicians and appointees (e.g., Michael Brown at FEMA), she's hopelessly incompetent.

You left out the best part of that WSJ article: The McCain-Palin campaign referred questions about the sports complex to Mr. Leonard, the former city finance chief. He blamed the Nature Conservancy [the seller] for dealing with two different potential buyers at one time. "That's what caused the confusion," he said.
Wow! That’s some executive who gets confused by the idea that a seller might negotiate with more than one potential buyer. Ever here of title insurance Sarah?
VINNY -
Can you imagine her at a Group of 8conference?
