Unethical, Illegal, Or Both? Alaska Governor Orders Criminal Investigation Into Democratic Senate Candidate’s Campaign
Rogue EnergyShow Notes
Alaska's governor has ordered an investigation into Democrat Mary Peltola’s involvement in a seemingly deceptive campaign trick to confuse voters on the ballot. A New York Times report, sourcing a dozen people either in or close to Peltola’s campaign, details efforts to recruit another Dan Sullivan to run against the Republican incumbent whose name is also, Dan Sullivan. Peltola has denied any involvement, instead pointing the finger at the Times, saying the outlet was just trying to increase its “subscriptions.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week an Indiana parole board has pleaded with Governor Mike Braun to uphold the death sentence of 50-year-old Jeffrey Weisheit. Weisheit was convicted for the 2010 brutal killings of his then girlfriend’s two children ages 5 and 8. The details are excruciating, including the fact that Weisheit tied up 5-year-old Caleb Lynch after arguing with him, and placed a railroad flare in his underwear and underneath his body, before setting the home on fire with 8-year-old Alyssa hiding in the closet. Both children died in the fire, but there is an unlikely supporter of commuting Weisheit’s execution to life in prison: the children’s father. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are frightening headlines coming from the World Health Organization and Africa’s CDC surrounding the growing Ebola outbreak. With 10 thousand confirmed cases, and nearly 5,000 deaths, health officials are warning the disease could expand internationally if other nations don’t take appropriate actions.
