But after reading the passage McCallister posted on the site “Sec. 39.52.340. it does not refer to the citizens it refers to the actions of the legislative bodies. If I remember correctly this passage was just passed this year. Why are they making Ms. Tompkins the bad guy. If you are in politics you should know that you will be held in a different light to others. These press releases are crazy, about the money it takes to defend the gov. If they are such garbage why in the world do you need someone to represent you. If you are above board and honest in your dealings you should have nothing to hide and you definitely do not need a lawyer spokesman. Go in front of the board answer their questions about the trip and move on, why do you need an attorney. It is a complaint some people think it is criminal to file them. So if you go to a restaurant and you meal is not prepared right are you just going to eat it and be quiet. If a policeman is seen sitting in his car and it parked and you notice that he is asleep are you going to act like you didn't see him and him not doing his job. Aren't you going to complain? Another example the Mayor of some little town there sorry can't remember what town, but he wanted to play police and pull people over and write them tickets. Doesn't people have the right to complain? It is a complaint not a criminal charge, not a lawsuit, not an impeachment, not a recall, it is only a citizen complaining that her governor is not doing her job in her opinion. Why, oh why does this need to be drawn out, attorney's suiting up, why not have the governor come to a meeting in front of the board and just answer questions? By the Gov.'s actions or inaction it appears that she is doing wrong and she knows it and that is why she owes that law firm so much money. According to that press release they said none of the complaints have been substantiated, which we know that is not true, two of them we know of (could be more) were found that she did violate the ethics law.

You don't respond like that on a government website. It makes her look more guilty. It shows her anger and it only makes things worse for her. Can you imagine Obama responding to personal complaints on his website? She just does not get it....... She is SO incredibly low class. You don’t respond like that on a government website.
