JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg has resigned in the wake of state legislators blasting his performance during the “Troopergate” investigation.
“He just explained that it is a tough environment right now,” said Gov. Sarah Palin, who appointed Colberg to the job a little over two years ago.
In an interview Tuesday with the Anchorage Daily News, Palin said Colberg did a great job as attorney general. Two weeks ago, Colberg was grilled and sharply criticized by legislators for trying to block legislative subpoenas to state officials during the inquiry into whether Palin abused power in complaints against a state trooper and her dismissal of former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.
