Judge orders Joe Miller's documents released
http://www.adn.com/2010/10/23/1515937/judge-orders-miller-documents.html

A judge ruled today that the Fairbanks North Star Borough must release personnel records of Senate candidate Joe Miller.

In an unusual Saturday hearing, retired Superior Court Judge Winston Burbank ruled that the public's right to know about candidates outweighed Miller's right to privacy.

Burbank ordered no release until at least Tuesday, however, to allow Miller to appeal the decision to the Alaska Supreme Court. Some of the documents will be redacted, he said.

(snip)
Among the documents being sought are details of his resignation from the job last year, and any disciplinary actions taken against him while employed. Separate lawsuits were brought by the Alaska Dispatch and Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. The Daily News and Associated Press joined, and the suits were combined. Among the arguments for release was that the state Supreme Court, in earlier cases, has ruled that candidates for office expose their private lives to public scrutiny.

4. Goodbye?
In ALASKA??? where they almost elected that crook stevens??
He lost by less then 3 THOUSAND votes. Out of just under 300K votes cast.
The republicans are huge hypocrites, scream about law and order then vote for a felon.
I wouldn't count any chickens just yet...

6. Now we need to concentrate our energies
on getting the news out about Lisa Murkowski's sleaziness. I've never been so disgusted at a campaign in my life.

Check this, if you haven't seen it yet, re Lisa's lying flyer that we all received yesterday. http://www.themudflats.net/2010/10/22/lisa-liar-pants-on-fire-murkowski-makes-false-claims-about-endorsements/
