The Anchorage Daily News reports Palin seeks review of Monegan firing case.
"Her lawyer sent an "ethics disclosure" Monday night to Attorney General Talis Colberg. The governor asked that it go to the three-person Personnel Board as a complaint. While ethics complaints are usually confidential, Palin wants the matter open. The lawyer, Thomas Van Flein, also asked the state Legislature to drop its own investigation into the Monegan matter. He says the Personnel Board has jurisdiction over ethics."
Tom Daniel, an Anchorage labor and employment lawyer, said "It appears that the Governor has filed an ethics complaint against herself. ... This is very unusual because ethics complaints typically are filed against others."
That sounds almost Bushian. Think she's getting adivce from some experts at this stuff? Let's see, you're the executive, the legislature is investigating you, try to take over the investigation and get them to stop. Remember all those, "I can't comment on an on-going investigation" from Gonzales and Bush? It seems the Alaska legislature isn't falling for it as well as the US Congress did.
