FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, December 7, 2009
The attached complaint relates to Palin’s already established unethical legal defense fund. A July 21, 2009 independent investigation report that relates to this same fund already found probable cause that Palin violated the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act while she abused her position for personal gain and secured unwarranted benefits for herself, her family and other undisclosed public officials.
“Palin continues to compromise the integrity of our Governor’s Office,” Andrée McLeod says. “She continues to misuse her official position even though she was told it is wrong to do.”
The Alaska Fund Trust website, which still accepts contributions, describes her as the current governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin quit 18 months into her first term. She feared being a lame duck and continuely having to answer to ethics charges.
McLeod continued, “What we have is the epitome of a culture of corruption. Why do public officials permit Palin to get away with bad behavior? Why does justice not prevail on the side of the people in the follow through of what has already been established as an unscrupulous pot of money? We still don’t know how much has been collected during her term and whose been paid from the fund? Why does the administration continue to protect and defend Sarah Palin, even when she’s caught, red-handed, selling out the Office of the Governor?”
A little misleading on the headline there, Sherry.

Wait, what? Didn't Palin quit? How can she possibly be charged with "continuing violations of the Branch Ethics Act"? Is McLeod smoking crack or something?
