Could have, but I think there are also some statue of limitations regarding the AK junk that are also in play.
I’ve only seen those posts, haven’t researched it myself.
Yes, I’ve read some posts that AK officials are liable for any ethical violations brought for up to 2 years after they leave office. So that would be the 26th of this month.
While we all favor ‘good government’ the Ak law has the exact opposite effect. I can’t believe after all that happened w/Gov Palin they haven’t changed the law so an official who is cleared is reimbursed his/her legal defense fees, preferably by whomever filed the false charges. As it is, it seems only to encourage political opponents and does nothing to prevent corruption.
But it’s also true that there are deadlines and laws and regs that vary from state to state have to be met for candidates who plan to run in the primaries/caucuses, so who knows what she was referring to
