CBNNews.com - ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An Alaska judge has refused to block a state investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired her public safety commissioner this summer.
Judge Peter Michalski in Anchorage said in his ruling Thursday that much of what was raised in a lawsuit seeking to halt the probe was business left to the legislative branch.
Five Republican state legislators asked the judge to order a temporary restraining order. They said the investigation has been tainted by partisan politics.
An independent investigator hired by the Legislative Council, which authorized the probe, is expected to have his report completed by Oct. 10.
