“Troopergate isn’t going away, and it shouldn’t go away”

By GottaLaff

The Mudflats has some encouraging news:

State House Minority Leader Beth Kerttula said she isn’t ready to let the issues go.

“Troopergate isn’t going away, and it shouldn’t go away,” the Juneau Democrat said.

On to the next nugget.

There doesn’t appear to be sufficient desire in the Legislature to reprimand the governor. But there is bipartisan concern about the resistance the attorney general, Palin appointee Talis Colberg, posed to legislative subpoenas.

“One of the judiciary committees or both of the judiciary committees should maybe bring the AG in front of them and have some frank discussions about what his actions were toward the state employees, why the subpoenas weren’t complied with,” said Chenault, the Republican house speaker.

I’m going to ignore the first part where they say there doesn’t seem to be sufficient desire in the Legislature to reprimand the Governor. Because, despite the fact that many feel this way, I do not remain without hope. Alaskans can still weigh in on how they feel about this. [...]

But, the fact that someone (and a Republican someone at that) is talking about holding Attorney General Talis Colberg accountable, is a good thing. If I were in the legislature, I wouldn’t take too kindly to being made impotent by some upstart AG either. The legislature has the power to do whatever it wants concerning Colberg, including impeachment. What’s it going to be?

I'll keep you posted.
