Another Damning Report Out of Alaska For Palin
Via the euphoric (and gregariously titled) user kissmygrits at the Kos, here is what CBS reported today: Another embarrassing complaint of abuse of power from the disgraced Governor of Alaska.
CBS News has obtained a copy of the complaint that Frank Gwartney, a retired lineman in Anchorage filed last Friday, with Alaska’s Attorney General, Talis Colber in Juneau. “Palin ran on the platform of ethics, transparency and anti-corruption. I’m tired of the hypocrisy that exists in Government and people need to know the truth,” said Gwartney.
The complaint against Governor Palin, alleges Misuse of Official Position: “Gov. Palin attempted to and in fact did use her official position for personal gain by securing unwarranted benefits for her daughters...” All the allegations contained in the complaint are related to state reimbursed travel.
In Alaska, ethics complaints filed against the Governor are confidential. “We can neither confirm nor refute that a complaint has been filed against Governor Sarah Palin. Any complaint remains confidential unless the person being charged waives confidentiality or if the complaint progresses to the state of probable cause,” Assistant District Attorney, Dave Jones told CBS News.
It just gets uglier and uglier for this governor. And with the Ted Stevens mess, it just keeps getting uglier for Alaskan politics as well.
Oh, and did we mention John McCain as well.
