Alaska lawmakers vote to disclose Palin report


    ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - Alaska lawmakers voted on Friday to make public a report about an abuse-of-power investigation into Governor Sarah Palin, the U.S. Republican vice presidential candidate.

    Palin is being investigated for her dismissal in July of the state's public safety commissioner, a move her critics allege was part of a personal vendetta against a state trooper who was involved in a divorce from the governor's sister.

    All 12 members of Alaska's Legislative Council who were present at the meeting voted in favour of making the report's findings public.

    The report is expected to be distributed shortly.
