Got a shot of this handsome guy sailing past Ester Island, near the salmon hatchery. There must have been more than a dozen mature bald eagles and as many immature ones with brown mottled looking feathers.

Also on ADN, another complaint dismissed, (paid for interviews), no proof attached and not properly notarized.

@ Dr. Patois: Thanks for the article link! This is what people donating money to Sarah need to know from the article:
“Palin also clearly knows one of the most important lessons of the world she’s entering: the urgent need for people to give now. She opened a legal-funds account earlier this year, and in the midst of a recession urged people to contribute money to cover her purported $500,000 debt — while at the same time, she was cashing a book advance reportedly worth between $4 million and $7 million. She has also already raised more than $700,000 through her political action committee, SarahPAC, since creating it earlier this year.
Finding and exploiting that urgent need, or even creating it out of thin air, drives the industry.”

I call b/s on this. Not properly notarized and based on previous b/s ruling they just let it go? The Personnel Board needs to be replaced by a bi-partisan committee that is NOT appointed. It should be a committee in the Leg with no connections to the Gov.
“It was rejected in part because it was not properly notarized, the statement said.
In addition, the Personnel Board had previously determined that interviews do not violate the state Ethics Act. And the complaint offered no evidence to support the claim the governor was paid, the statement said.”
