5. The Alaska Legislature could impeach her, too. That would probably put an end to it.

2. Yes, but I'd contribute for the entertainment value alone. Btw, how do the members of the Board

Like a decision from people who owe you their jobs is ever going to clear your name.

7. She should reimburse the state for the cost of investigating the complaint she filed against herself
That was shameful game-playing
