JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- While Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has met with foreign leaders in New York and fans in Philadelphia her staff has been ignoring subpoenas at home, officials said.
Mike Nizich, Palin's chief of staff in Juneau, and six other aides were no-shows Friday before the state Senate Judiciary Committee, the Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News reported. Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg, who filed a lawsuit Thursday challenging the subpoenas, said he advised the governor's staff they did not have to testify.
