Unless you were here (in Alaska)to see how bad she was being hit by those ethics complaints you can not understand just how bad it was. She flat could not do her job. The state was suffering because of it, and she knew it. The only way to stop the people that were doing it was for her to resign. Our Legislator had just passed the ethics bill, never thinking of someone using it as a tool to get rid of the Governor. Now the Legislature is looking at reforming the ethics system.
We Alaskans do not resent her stepping down we understand why she did it, and while we did not want to see it happen, we excepted it. Too bad the rest of the nation can't see past that. Those that can not are awfully short sighted. We (Alaskans) are the ones affected, we accept it, why can't the rest of the people that were not affected?
At least she would not bow to the Saudi King.
