Don’t know Talis Colberg? You should have.
From LA Times:
Alaska Atty. Gen. Talis Colberg, who defended Gov. Sarah Palin’s administration in the “Troopergate” abuse-of-power investigation, resigned Tuesday in what he said was the “best interest” of the state.
The move came less than a week after an acrimonious showdown with the Legislature, which found the governor’s husband and nine state employees, including several top administration aides, in contempt over their delay in responding to subpoenas in the investigation.
