He's been called the shadow governor. Now Todd Palin's role in state government is at the center of a lawsuit seeking state e-mails the governor's office has withheld for reasons such as "executive privilege."
Andree McLeod, a former state worker, has been seeking telephone and e-mail records since June for two aides to Gov. Sarah Palin. While she received boxes of records, others were withheld, including a considerable number of e-mails that were copied to the governor's husband, Todd.
So this week, McLeod went to court to appeal a decision by the governor's office to withhold the e-mails that included Todd Palin.
McLeod made a public records request on June 17 for telephone, text message and e-mail records involving two aides to the governor, Ivy Frye and Frank Bailey, between Feb. 1 and April 15. Her request was similar to that of another activist, Zane Henning.
While they each received bankers boxes full of records, many of the records were partial, with some portions blacked out for reasons including executive privilege and deliberative process.
And they received a log of some 1,100 e-mails that were being withheld, most of them because of "deliberative process/executive." McLeod, through an administrative appeal, has since received some of those.
Todd Palin was copied on dozens of the withheld e-mails, if not more.
Andree McLeod is a one woman corruption fighting machine!
Now THIS is how all citizens of our state should be responding to the obfuscation coming from the governor's office.
We were promised a "transparent government" and Palin herself said, on camera, to "hold me accountable". So all McLeod is doing is following the wishes expressed by our governor herself.
Now THAT is true Alaskan patriotism!
And stay tuned kids because the Alaskans for Truth are about to get back in the ring as well.
See now,I think Alaskans should do the same thing with other areas - because it's illegal to perpetrate a fraud against the public. And I can think of at least two other things which come bubbling out of that kettle.

I hope Andree McLeod has people looking out for her. We've learned from the whole Troopergate saga that the Palin/Heath families play rough!

ReplyDeleteAndree McLeod is an angry old hag who could not get a gov. job so now she has it out for the gov. and her people. She has waisted so much time, energy and public resources with her claims that if she was truly worried about the state of government she would realize that and stop, but she dosent. someone just needs to punch her in the face and tell her to shut the hell up.
