An Alaska ethics complaint has been dismissed that alleged Sarah Palin violated state ethics law because “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” her TLC show, benefited from a state film tax credit she signed into law as governor.

In dismissing the complaint filed by an anti-Palin blogger, the state attorney general’s office wrote that the show benefited from a generally available credit and that Palin didn’t seek the credit herself.

“The action of signing the general legislation passed by the Alaska Legislature into law as governor does not bar Ms. Palin from working for a person who operates under that state law,” the AG’s office wrote in its opinion on the complaint filed by Malia Litman, who operates the “Rebuttal to the Rogue” blog. Portions of the confidential opinion were posted online late Tuesday by Palin’s attorney, John Tiemessen.

In a statement posted on the Conservatives 4 Palin blog, Tiemessen decried the “small band of leftwing bloggers” who have a “destructive strategy to harass a political leader they disagree with.”

In stepping down from her post as governor in 2009, Palin blamed a swirl of ethics complaints, which she deemed frivolous, for hampering her ability to govern.
