From Anchorage Daily News:
State lawmakers in opposing camps are frustrated with the direction of the Legislature’s Troopergate investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin. One group is furious at the decision of potential witnesses to defy the Legislature’s subpoenas, and another thinks the investigation has been politicized and wants to put it on ice.
But neither is getting much traction to do anything. Talk among legislators of calling themselves into special session to force people to testify appears to be fizzling. So is a push by those on the other side who had hoped the Legislature would postpone the investigation of Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, until after the Nov. 4 presidential election.
“There are just a lot of different frustrations,” said Kenai Republican state Rep. Mike Chenault. “It is just become such a political quagmire that I don’t think there’s a winner in any of this.”
