Todd Palin subpoenaed

Just breaking late Friday afternoon east coast time: Todd Palin was subpoenaed by the Alaska legislature in the Troopergate story. One Republican joined two Democrats on the five-member legislative panel in voting for the subpoena.

There's not much info beyond that right now; the AP story I link to above has the necessary background. The apparent risk here for Sarah P. is that her husband somehow made improper use of the levers of state government in going after the brother-in-law. It's a bit of a relief for Palin herself that she wasn't subpoenaed, but if the husband has to answer questions under oath about his role, that's at least a headache.
