Palin’s lawyer: Another ethics complaint dismissed
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Sarah Palin’s attorney says another ethics complaint against the former Alaska governor has been dismissed.
Thomas Van Flein announced the dismissal Tuesday on Palin’s Facebook page.
Van Flein says the complaint was filed against Palin after she left office. It alleged Palin’s legal defense fund was a violation of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.
The attorney says the complaint was tossed for lacking a factual or legal basis.
Van Flein also used the Facebook posting to try to quash speculation that Palin resigned as Alaska’s governor last summer midway through her term to cash in on her fame. Instead, he said it was a selfless act intended to save the state money from investigating “inane ‘ethics’ complaints.”
