McCain/Palin Campaign Attempts to Stall, Smear Legislators for Troopergate investigation

From a Alaska Democratic Party press release

Alaska Democratic Party Chair Patti Higgins today released the following statement:

"The investigation of Troopergate was approved by a unanimous bipartisan 12-0 vote of the Legislative Council. Eight (8) of those votes were by Republican legislators, four (4) were by Democrats. The investigation was called for in July, more than a month before anyone knew Sarah Palin was being picked to run for Vice President. Governor Palin agreed to cooperate with the investigation, and publicly said she supported it.

What has changed?

The partisan presidential campaign of McCain/Palin has interfered and is picking partisan targets to smear in order to make this investigation look like something it isn't.

The Vote last Friday to subpoena the Governor's husband and 12 executive branch employees and contractors was also bipartisan (3-2) with Sen. Charlie Huggins, R-Mat Su, voting to issue subpoenas.

Rather than cooperating with the investigation, the Republican presidential campaign is doing everything it can to stall and smear."
