"It is comprised of state legislators. Of course, they use public funds. Duh!"

The point you missed is that they used public funds to pursue their own personal agenda. Duh is right!!

Also, the legislature has already indicated that no further action will be pursued.

Tune in to the Personnel Board at the end of this month where Palin and husband have already indicated full cooperation. We'll wait for THAT outcome for further comment.

  political ethics is NOT a personal agenda. we pay these people-they are our employees. when they misuse their power its a very PUBLIC matter, not a personal one
  
  investigate the case-the governor and her husband had a PERSONAL agenda concerning their PERSONAL lives, and used a PUBLIC office to try to resolve it
  
  the panel that reached the conclusion actually had more republican than dem members on it
  
  that should tell you the findings were not about a personal agenda, but a misuse of public office, if nothing else does
  
  of course if you want to see this as a partisan demonization of Palin, nothing will stop you, even knowing the panel that found her 'guilty' was bipartisan and actually had more people on it from her own party

  This is an ethics matter. The state legislature had every responsibility to deal with this. They made their decision based on that responsibility. Whether or not they pursue any further action isn't the point. The point is, she was found to have participated in unethical conduct. Sort of like John McCain was found to have have used "poor judgment" in a Senate ethics review over the Keating scandal.
  
  As for the Personnel Board, you mean the one with her appointees sitting on it? That personnel board? Who cares what they say about it. It will not negate the findings of the committee.
