Legislators propose keeping filings confidential after flood of complaints against Sarah Palin

Two legislators, one Democratic and one Republican, are proposing bills to make ethics complaints confidential. The push comes after former Gov. Sarah Palin said the state's ethics process was used to hound her from offices last year.

Reps. Mike Doogan, D-Anchorage, and Bob Lynn, R-Anchorage, each pre-filed legislation that would bar those who file ethics complaints from revealing that they've done so.

"It prevents the sorts of things we saw when Sarah Palin was running for vice-president," Doogan said.
