I read with interest and concern last week's Empire article regarding the number of ethics complaints filed against Gov. Sarah Palin. These are some of the most irresponsible utterances I have heard in recent years. They are either politically motivated, which seems obvious because of their timing, or some kind of game for people who don't have anything else of interest in their lives.

In the article, much is made of the governor being accountable. This accountability works both ways. Equal accountability should be put on those bringing the suits, which means paying all costs for lawsuits that are dismissed.
