Another Ethics Complaint Rejected
July 15, 2009, Anchorage, Alaska - The Alaska Personnel Board has rejected another ethics complaint lodged against Governor Sarah Palin.
The complaint alleged that the governor misused state time by accepting media interviews. The complaint also alleged that Governor Palin was paid for television and radio interviews. Governor Palin has not been paid for media interviews.
This complaint was filed by Raymond Alvin Ward on July 9. It was rejected in part because it was not properly notarized. In addition, Personnel Board Chairman Debra English said the board had already determined media interviews did not violate the Ethics Act. Ward lacked evidence to support his allegation that the governor received any payment for media interviews.
Governor Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, responded to the dismissal saying, "The board has appropriately determined that a complaint must have a factual basis of some type and that complaints based on pure speculation are not proper. This most recent complaint demonstrates the problem with the system, and the manner in which it can be abused."
The libs are scared to death of her. And they are using her as a RED HERRING to keep focus off of the antics of President Alinsky.
Of course, now that she has resigned.
They got what they wanted.
I’m beginning to think Democrats are saints! Republicans are sinners!
Repent!!! Pass the PORK!
/sarc
That’s #16 in Palin’s favor. 16-0 to date. There are still 4 pending.
It's interesting they seem to be bringing Alinsky/Axelrod goon tactics up over and over. Wonder where they might be going with that?
I disagree. This is not what the Obama war room wanted. They probably considered the scenario of Palin not running for re-election (rumor circulating in Alaska) but I don’t think they figured that Palin would extricate herself from being Governor because of the criticism it would invoke. That Sarah did has thrown all of Obama’s plans off kilter and they are now in a panic or disarray, as witnessed now by Move.on org launching a campaign to attack Sarah who is soon to be a private citizen.
My bet is they won't report at all that it was just tossed...
That was quick. can’t understand why they just didn’t dismiss each and everyone so quickly.
Very accurate assessment.
Frivolous lawsuits should cost the initiator all court costs and a fine.
....rolls eyes. I don’t believe this....
I’m so sick of these idiots. All they accomplish is making me want to donate more to Sarah.
I don’t think they figured that Palin would extricate herself from being Governor because a liberal would never willingly give up power unless they were 100% certain of getting into a more powerful and influential position.
libs hate her because she is genuine.
a serious threat to socialism, they do anything that they can to discredit her
Not to mention the questions she hasn’t answered about putting her child in danger vs perjury, etc.
These are frivolous suits, and it seems to me there must be some laws on the books to protect people, not just public figures, from this sort of thing.
Why haven’t some of these people been prosecuted for this B.S.?
The libs are scared to death of her. And they are using her as a RED HERRING to keep focus off of the antics of President Alinsky.

The more they attack Sarah, the more support she will get.
I’m wondering why our Alaska liberal socialist politicians don’t find themselves being hit with similar ethics charges. They step foot in Safeway to buy a carton of milk? Must be receiving kickbacks from the grocery lobby; better file an ethics complaint. They drink beer? Obviously in bed with the liquor lobby. Smoke? Obviously pandering to Dear Leader’s own vice, and also probably on the take with Big Tobacco. Do they breathe? Must be receiving slush money from Greenpeace. File on all of em!
GOD BLESS SARAH PALIN:PRESIDENT ELECT OF THE UNITED STATES ON NOVEMBER 4, 2012!!!
Sarah will also throw a Fastball Strike on Opening Day!
No more Gay Openers with “Girlie Throws!” :-)
Hugo Chavez will find out that “ He’d rather sandpaper a Lion’s Ass than Mess with President Sarah Palin!” The rest of them too!
