1. Good Morning

Right now, nothing can be done to her. The state house does not have the authority to levy punishment for these offenses. If someone files charges against her in court for ethics violations, and she is found guilty, she can be fined and censured. Talis Colberg the attorney general could be in trouble for stonewalling the investigation.
The governor was not found guilty of improperly firing monegan. She had every right to do so...

She was found guilty of violating the ethics act. When she tried to have trooper wooten fired for "personal" reasons. This is a "medium sized' violation. Not punishable by jail or heavy fines (possibly up to 5000 dollars).

Once again it's not the "crime" that sinks a politician...it's the cover up...

Right now she has sunk to an all time low of 65 per cent approval in Alaska.

2. The irony is that this is the same Ethics Act

that the Democrats helped her pass early in her term in response to the abuses of the former governor, Frank Murkowski's, administration. :rofl:
