CALL TO ACTION: Serial Bogus Ethics Filers Give Testimony on Ethics?

So Andree McLeod and Zane Henning, serial complainants who cost the state thousands of tax payer dollars while they played out their hellish vendetta against Governor Palin, somehow are credible sources of information? These two Palin anklebiters, whose complaints were thrown out one after another, are taken seriously, but the legislature doesn’t want to hear from the administration itself regarding how these ethics abuses can be solved? What sense does that make?

Clearly, these two can’t spot a real ethics violation if it smacked them in the face, so how does their one-sided testimony equate to anything remotely helpful in bringing about true ethics reform? And why can’t the legislators see what is so apparent? Allowing these two characters to have a say in ethics rules is like allowing children to decide their own punishment. Don’t tell me the legislators don’t recognize this. They make it hard to take them or these hearings seriously. It seems, instead, to be more of the same Juneau dog and pony show.

What’s that saying about the squeaky wheel…?  Giving these (pardon the phrase) yahoos more time in the public square to spout their lies amounts to dereliction of duty on behalf of Alaska’s legislators.  Shouldn’t it be required that at least one of the many complaints filed by these folks be proven true before they’re asked to opine about ethics?  It appears not.
