From McClatchy:
The Alaska Legislature today rejected Wayne Anthony Ross as attorney general.
Meeting in joint session, the House and Senate voted 35-23 against confirming the Anchorage attorney. Ross was nominated by Gov. Sarah Palin to replace Talis Colberg, who resigned earlier this year
The vote followed more than an hour of debate that crossed party lines.
Among the Republicans who voted against Ross were House Speaker Mike Chenault of Nikiski and Senate President Gary Stevens of Kodiak.
