Another Ethics Complaint Dismissed
July
24, 2009, Anchorage, Alaska – The Personnel Board has announced that
another ethics complaint against Governor Sarah Palin has been
dismissed. (Another Ethics, 2009 ¶1)
The complaint, the sixth
filed by Anchorage resident Andree McLeod, accused the governor of
violating the Ethics Act by receiving her salary while campaigning for
vice president. The accusation, lodged Monday, was dismissed as legally
flawed and factually devoid of merit. (Another Ethics, 2009, ¶2)
Governor
Palin remained on duty, conducted state business, and communicated with
her staff and her constituents. “Andree McLeod has failed to prevail on
any of the ethics complaints she has filed against the governor,” said
Mike Nizich, Palin’s chief of staff. “It appears her agenda is clear –
she’s abusing the ethics laws to harass public officials.” (Another
Ethics, 2009, ¶3)
