Ethics complaint against Sarah Palin dismissed

Anchorage: An ethics complaint filed against former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has been dismissed.

The Alaska Personnel Board on Friday dismissed the complaint which alleged that the Alaska governor violated ethics rules by accepting outside employment with her political action committee.

Anchorage resident Sondra Tompkins, who filed the complaint in April, also alleged Palin participated in partisan activities when she spoke at an anti-abortion dinner in Indiana.

KTUU-TV reports that an investigator hired by the personnel board to review the complaint determined the allegations did not constitute ethics violations.
