Former Senate candidate Ray Metcalfe is collecting signatures from Alaskans to put the following proposition on the ballot.
“Anyone found using their public office to enrich themselves, their relatives, close friends, business associates; past, present, or anticipated employers or contributors, is guilty of a class A felony. Anyone found securing enrichment by inducing public officials to violate this statute is guilty of bribery, a class A felony.”
The wording needs some fine tuning so it can stand in a court of law, but I like the general tone of his proposal.
If it goes ahead and becomes statute, we may hear the words "Guilty as charged on all counts" at the end of Sarah Palin's trial!
Class A felony = 20 years in prison.
That's plenty of time to contract MRSA. Oh, Karma!
