When Governor Palin announced that she would be resigning, in part, because of the unusual number of frivolous ethics complaints burdening the state of Alaska, that was not intended to be an invitation to file more frivolous ethics complaints. Not everyone got the message. As if to underscore the Governor's point, two more frivolous complaints were filed this week.
For example, Raymond A. Ward (DOB 1947), has apparently filed a state ethics complaint (No. 19) incorrectly alleging that the Governor has appeared on "television and radio variety shows earning and accepting money for personal and private use on state time." These allegations are categorically false. Though signed under "penalty of purgery" (sic) it is apparent that Mr. Ward has no factual basis for the statements he has made.
Governor Palin has never been paid an appearance fee or received other remuneration from any "television or radio" show. She has not been paid for any media interview. The allegations made by Mr. Ward have no basis in truth.
In releasing the complaint publicly today, Mr. Ward violated the confidentiality provision of the Ethics Act. Mr. Ward is apparently no stranger to the Alaska court system apparently with a collection of criminal and civil matters allegedly involving him, including possible allegations of: filing a false report, illegal use of the telephone, criminal trespass, domestic violence, vehicle tampering, and DUI. Ward's attorney in some of those past cases--Rex Butler.
Attached are Courtview print-outs as well as an updated list of ethics complaints.

PING!
fyi -
so can we charge him and put him in jail?
what i dont understand is why the legistrators don’t come up with a law to protect themselves from this frivolous lawsuits. Can the Republicans just launch their own frivolous lawsuits against all the lawmakers and see how they feel
and the lawyer, too.
Is this what Democrats want for America? Do they want Chicago-style politics on a national scale? If not, where is the backlash? This seems like a very risky scheme to me.
You mean the Obama operative lawyer REX BUTLER? The Rex Butler that magically appeared as Sherry Johnston's lawyer out of thin air and then became Levi Johnston's agent. THAT Rex Butler?
What a coincidence...LMAO.

I'm not sure but I think there are two different entities overseeing the ethics complaint filings. One has jurisdiction over the Legislature, etc. and has no jurisdiction over the executive branch. The other covers the executive branch which is the one under which the Palin complaints are being filed.
Palin has claimed she has been successful in cleaning up the processes. Of that I'm not sure what she was referring to.
I wonder if there is a disbarment hearing in Rex Butler’s future?
Well, color me with shock.
One thing we have learned here is this soft approach the Republicans use is pure crap. If we ever get control again, hit these RATS with everything we can and start the destruction of them. No more soft sh@@. And don’t give me this crap that we live to a higher standard. Look where we are now. Where did we get these simple minded Republicans? This is war!!!!!

I think it is time someone pulls a Rule 11 against him. Filing lawsuits for the purpose of harassment is illegal.

Looks like clear RICO activity to me.
Ah, a picture is worth a thousand words. It’s all clear now.
Saw your post over on the Facebook Page. Glad you did it! Butler needs to be brought to account for his abuse of the system.
