Ethics complaint against Palin dismissed
AP ^ | 7-15-09

Posted on 07/15/2009 8:58:33 PM PDT by truthandlife

Another ethics complaint against Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been dismissed.

Palin's office says the state personnel board rejected the complaint — alleging Palin has been paid for media interviews — in part because it was not properly notarized.

The governor's office says a board official also noted the panel already has determined that media interviews did not violate ethics law.

Palin representatives say the governor has not been paid for media interviews and the complainant, Raymond Alvin Ward, lacked evidence to back his contention.

The complaint is among 18 ethics grievances filed against Palin, most of which have been dismissed.

This maggot Ward should be charged with harrassment and stalking and then his ass should be thrown in jail.

Andree MacLeud is the worst of them. I read a twitter posting from one of Sarah’s friends yesterday, she said that when Sarah was pregnant with Trig(8 months pregnant) Andree jumped Sarah and Sarah had to be rushed out of the place for her own protection. Andree tried to kill her, what a whack job. She should be in prison. I can see why Soros, Axelrod, and Emmanuel are picking these people, they are not the brightest bulbs in the bunch, they do whatever they tell them to do

Another ethics complaint was filed today:

FOR RELEASE: JULY 14, 2009

Another meritless complaint has been filed today, returning to the same theme the Personnel Board has already addressed and ruled upon. The Board already ruled that the Ethics Act was not violated when the Governor was on the campaign trail last Fall and accompanied by staff members. It further concluded that the State obtained more benefit from staff who volunteered services to the state than it cost.

Further, the complainant misapprehends the travel authorizations. In order to avoid a potential overlap and implication of the Ethics Act, the McCain/Palin Campaign paid for the Governor’s travel and per diem expenses during the campaign, as well as expenses for key aides that accompanied the Governor. Contrary to the complaint, it is not an Ethics violation to save the state money and to avoid overlap between campaign costs and state costs. Rather, this was the more ethical and better approach, using campaign money even when state business was being accomplished remotely. The Board has essentially ruled as much.

We have no reason to believe that this complaint will not be dismissed in the same manner this complainant’s other complaints have been dismissed. This complainant is known to the Administration as a disgruntled patronage job applicant. What is further obvious is that the ethics process continues to be misused for improper purposes, the law mandating confidentiality continues to be violated, and the state will continue to spend money reviewing these types of complaints, with no public good resulting.

Thomas Van Flein - Personal Attorney for Governor Sarah Palin

Ray Ward Becomes The First African-American To File An Ethics Complaint Against Sarah Palin, Accusing Her Of Getting Paid For Media Interviews

******

Note that REX BUTLER is Ray Ward’s lawyer. 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.

Rex Butler: Democrat, supporter of Jesse Jackson, race hustler, attorney of the ethics complaint anklebiters and attorney of Levi Johnston. He is the ring-leader of the ‘rats nest harrassing the Palin family.

A buit more about Mr. Ward from KTVA's website:

"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."
