They had a system there in Alaska where just anyone could file an ethics complaint against the Governor with no evidence and the Governor had to answer it.
Several anti-Palin activists (I gather representing oil interests) filed a stream of baseless ethics complaints against her. The cost swelled to unconscionably high levels ~ way beyond her salary range.
That's why she resigned.
So, yes, she's still a player whose opinion counts ~ finishing her term in office showed she knows how to cut losses because that Legislature wasn't going to fix the law.
They are really worried about Palin and Gingrich.
Good!
