committee of U.S. Senatorial candidate Joseph W. Miller and
its
preceding entity, Joe Miller for U.S. Senate, have \-IOrked
as
its research director, have personal cognizance of the
matters
set forth herein, and hereby verify that the same are tele
and
correct to the best of my information and bel f. The
exhibits
attached hereto are true and correct copies of print-outs,
Internet search results, and other documents I have cited
and
relied on herein.
2. Alice Rogoff is majority o"mer of Alaska Dispatch, LLC
("Alaska Dispatch"). See Exhibit A.
3. Alice Rogoff personally donated $6200 to Lisa
Murkowski's campaigns for US Senate, $4700 for the 2010
election cycle. The latest was in 2009 before she purchased
Alaska Dispatch. See Exhibit B.
4 . Alice Rogoff ("Rogoff") is marri to David
Rubenstein ("Rubenstein",. Note also that they were once
both
high-ranking federal officials: Rubenstein an adviser to
President Carter's Wh House, and Rogoff a high-level
official in the same admir.istration in the Office of
Management
and Budget. See Exhibit C.
5. Rubenstein is said by forbes magazine to be among the

150 richest persons in The United States, w h a personal net
worth of $3 Billion. In addition, The Carlyle Group of which
Ruebenstein is a founding partner, principle and managing
director, has $156 Billion in assets. See Exhibits D E, and
F.J
6. Rubenstein's Wikipedia entry states that his wife
Rogoff was the founder of both The Alaska House NY, and the
Alaska Native Arts Foundation. See Exhibit E, at "personal"
section.
7. Alaska House NY, a putative philanthropic
organization for Alaska Nat , was reported in the Anchorage
Daily News on July 15, 2010, to have been publicly funded,
and
closed down because Rogoff was denied a $600,000 funding
request by the Alaska ~egislature. See Exhibit G.
8. Ms. Rogoff still s s on the Board of the Alaska
Native Arts Foundation. See Exhibit H.
9. The Juneau Empire reported on September 10, 2010,
that the Alaska Native Arts Foundation to be a publicly
funded
organization, receiving both state and federal revenue. See
Exhibit 1.
10. Rubenstein's Carlyle Group empire was largely built
by leveraging influence and "insider" government knowledge
to
AFFIDAVIT OF MATTHEW JOHNSON Fairbanks Daily News Miner et. al.

buy up struggling corporations and reward them with federal
contracts. The Carlyle Group has also capitalized, not
exclusively but significantly, on special tax offsets
obtained
in cooperation with Alaska Native Corporations. See Exhibits
J,
K, L (at 4), M.
11. Alaska Dispatch has engaged in disproportionate
coverage of Senate candidate Joe Miller, almost exclusively
with a negative slant, versus generally positive and much
less
coverage of Lisa Murkows~i, Mr. Miller's 2010 opponent
during
the time this case was initiated. A search on the Alaska
Dispatch website for Joe Miller returns 40 pages, while an
identical search using sitting senior Senator Lisa
Murkowski's
name only results in 24 pages. Notably, Alaska Dispatch has
apparently scrubbed their coverage of the 2010 US Senate
race
so that it can no longer be accessed by doing a search on
their
website. See exhibits N, 0, and P.
12. During the 2010 US Senate race, there were numerous
instances of Alaska Dispatch engaging in what essentially
were
political attacks on Joe Miller, while all but ignoring very
similar (or more egregious) situations with respect to the
other candidates, and specifically Lisa Murkowski.
-
Mr. Craig Medred, a writer for Alaska Dispatch, had been
tipped
off that Senator Murkowski's top fisheries adviser was under
federal criminal investigation no later than October 22,
2010.
But it was never reported by Alaska Dispatch until months
after
the election. I also include another email exchange in which
the Alaska Dispatch Reporter admits that Joe Miller is one
of
the most honest policicians in the state, yet Alaska
Dispatch
repeatedly ran headlines highlighting (lies, lying, etc.)
one
isolated incident during his tenure at the cNSB. See, e.g.,
Exhibics Q through X.
13. Alaska Dispatch, while a party to this litigation,
wrote (or re-posted) biased articles that dealt with this
case
and reporced information they were privy to because of their
involvement in the case. Notably, there was little effort
made
to disclose the conflict of interest Alaska Dispatch ters
had in reporting on the story in the first place, a
violation
of journalistic ethics. See Exhibits Y through BB.
It is my belief that Alaska Dispatch and its majority
owner repeatedly acted out of a conflict of interest with
respect to Senate candidate Joseph Miller, a candidate that
openly ran on a platform of cucting superfluous federal

SECTIONS
About Us From political corruption to climate change to rural
Alaska to the rise of Sarah Palin, Alaska media has struggled to
cover stories of importance not only to Alaskans but to the rest of
the nation. Alaska Dispatch, Alaska's online-only news site, is
devoted to fiDing this journalism void. Whether reporting on
powerful oil companies or on residents who live far from the urban
centers where decisions are made, Alaska Dispatch's goal is to take
an unflinching look at the state, from its massive riches to its
abject poverty, and tell these stories to Alaskans and to the
world.
We have been honored by the accolades our reporters, editors and
columnists have received, including more than hI'o dozen Alaska
Press Club Awards injnst two years. In 2011, we received the Alaska
Press Club's awards for investigative reporting and public service,
as well as the Howard Rock Tom Snapp First Amendment Award for our
effolts to cover Alaska's 2010 race for U.S. Senate -- an honor for
which we were nominated by our peers in the Alaska Press Club. Also
in 2011, we received the Best of the West journalism award for
breaking news for our coverage of the August 2010 plane crash that
claimed the lives of former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens and fonr
others.
2012 saw more awards come Alaska Dispatch's way, as Best of the
West once again l'ewarded Our coverage with a firstplace nod, this
time in the category of best general reporting for a story
documenting problems surrounding a mnltimillion-dollar airport
project sening the remote Aleutian community of Akutan. In addition
to other awards from the Alaska Press Club in 2012, Alaska Dispatch
earned the title ofhest news website, reflecting the evolving

Alaska Dispatch was founded by journalist Tony Hopfinger "301
Merrill Field Dr.
in :1008. In mid-2009, Alice Rogoff, a longtime supporter of
Anchorage, AK 99501 journalism and a former chief financial officer
ofD.S. News and World Report, became the majority owner of Alaska
Dispatch Publishing LLC, and the site expanded to employ
'>liters, editors and a full-time sales team.
Making journalism sustainable At Alaska Dispatch, we believe we
are paving the way for the future ofonline journalism
locallyproduced stories presented on for-profit websites. The
owners of Alaska Dispatch believe journalism must -- and ultimately
"ill -- pay for itself. The site is a for-profit enterprise,
relying on online advertising and sponsorship. We can accomplish
this not ouly because we arc unencumbered by operating a printing
press or broadcast signal, but because we aren't owned by
shareholders who demand big profits. The future of online
journalism is a highly efficient staff producing content 24/7.
backed by owners who understand the civic responsibility -- both
financial and ethical-- that comes with disseminating the news.
We invite you to join the conversation by l'egiste.ing as a
member of the Alaska Dispatch community.

1973 to 1975, Rubenstein practiced law in Ne\.. York with Paul,
Weiss, Rifkind, ! UniwrsilY ofChicago (.W.)Wharton & Garrison.
Prior to starting Carlyle in 1987, wllh William E. Conway, JL and

i Nttworth ..53.0 billion (Marcb 1013.PJ Although in 2006
private equity aClivity was booming and larger companies lhan ever
before were bought out, insiders fcared the day that it would
abruptly end. ISpOUlif!(S) Alice Nicole Rogoff On two ditTerent
occasions David Rubenstein cxpres~ed lhis fear. In January .
Children .3 2006, he stated: "This has been a golden age for our
industry, but nothing i --------------. -------~"" ..--------~ ..
----, continues to be golden forcllcl",lsl One month later, he
emphasizcd this concern more explicitly; "Rlghl now we're operating
as if lhe music's not going to stop playing and the music IS going
to SlOp. I al11 mOre concerned about this than any other issue"
,[6} These concerns proved to be fight as at the end of2007 the
buyout market collapsed. This collapse can largely be attributed to
the credit crunch, which significantly increased the cost of
borro\ving, As leveraged loan activity eame to an abrupt SlOp,
privalc equity llmls were unable to secure financing for their
transactions. As the consequence.. .. of the credit crunch unveUed
themselves, many previously announced buyouts were cancelled.
In May 2008 David Rubenstein Slated: "But once this pedod is
over. once the debt on the books of the banks is sold and new
lending starts, [think you'll see lhe private equity industry
corning back in what I call the Platinum Age - better than jt's
ever been before. 1 do think that the private eqUity industry has a
great future and that the greatest period for private equity is
probably ahead of us. ,[11

NY's Alaska House gallery opened loudly, closes quietly IArts
and Culture IADN.com Page2of3
No events were listed on the Alaska House website. Capital
contacted Sabrina Smith, a spokeswoman for the Alaska Native Arts
Foundation, who confirmed that the gallery is in the process of
closing down.
The gallery in New York's trendy SoHo neighborhood, which also
served as a travel service and cultural center, opened with great
fanfare on Sept. 15, 2008. Guests at the event included Gov. Sarah
Palin's husband, Todd, Alaska U.S. Sen Lisa Murkowski and Alaska
artists Sylvester Ayek, Perry Eaton and Poldine Carlo.
Supporters included billionaire New York City Mayor Michael
Bloomberg and philanthropist Daisy Soros, sister-in-law of
international money fund mogul George Soros. The gallery and its
partner organization, the Alaska Native Arts Foundation, were
founded by Alice Rogoff Rubenstein, former chief financial officer
of U.S. News and World Report and wife of The Carlyle Group's
co-founder, David Rubenstein.
"Our goals for Alaska House are several-fold," said Rogoff
Rubenstein at the opening. "One, to increase the sales and sale
value of Alaska Native art, to both get the artist the fair market
value they deserve, but also the recognition they deserve."
The broader mission Included drawing attention to problems
facing Alaska Natives. The opening's theme, "Life Without Ice,"
pertained to the effects of global warming on Arctic regions.
In addition, the center hoped to help Alaska companies market
seafood to the East Coast and gave visitors from Alaska a place to
check their e-mail.
In November, Rogoff Rubenstein requested an appropriation of
$600,000 from the Alaska Legislature for "public relations and
economic development marketing" for the gallery.
"I can't afford to keep New York open anymore so we're either
going to close it or we're going to find
funding for it," she said at that time"
The Legislature did not appropriate the money.
The 3,OOO-square-fool New York gallery operated in conjunction
with the Alaska Native Arts Foundation, Which operates the Alaska
Native Arts Gallery in Anchorage, a showplace for contemporary and
traditional work by Alaska Native artIsts at 500 W. Fifth Ave.
As of 11 a.m., Thursday, the Anchorage gallery was open but
staff could provide no information regarding whether the closure of
the New York space will affect the Alaska gallery or the
foundation.
In a press release received on Friday, Tracy Foster, founding
director of Alaska House, New York, said the enterprise is actively
seeking to sublease its 3,OOO-squarefoot gallery and meeting space
in SoHo "while continuing to show the artists work by
appointment."
"Alaska House will continue to operate 'virtually,' minimizing
overhead by maintaining its inventory online. The nonprofit will
also continue to advocate on issues of importance to rural Alaska,
such as natural gas, Arctic development and climate change," Foster
wrote.

Budget cuts threaten Native Arts Foundation Po"ed: niday_ 5 ..
pl~lTIb~r HI, 2010 By PAT FORGEY
The puhlicly funded Alaska Native Arts Foundation has had its
budget slashed, and it is not clear whether the org:mi?:ation
dedicated to promoling the sale of h"ative art can COlltinue to
operate,
The gm;ernmenL has provi&d $600,000 a year to the fonndation
in recent years. In 2008, the tast ~'ear for wbich data is
availAble. the nonprofit foundation had expenSf'n~ of S94S,OOO,
aceording ta its publie1y available tax return.
Foundation ~ecuti ....e director JoneUa Larson White has
declined repeated requests to provide farthcf information about the
organization or the impact of the budget cuts.

The (oundation's 2008 tro: return reported art sales of 522$,000
for the prel.1VUS ycar.
It is nOl clear how many jobs at tile foundation may be at
stake. The group's webSite lists four staff members. Its ~oo8 lax
return reported it was paying its then-executive director $1.0$,000
a year, pIllS benl!fits.
The partnerShip has prm1Dusly listed its support for the
foundation as one of Its "suecesses"

The Carlyle Group: ex-government officials cash in By Shannon
Jones 16 May 2001
The incestuous ties between the Bush administration and the
corporate world are highlighted by its relationship ,,"th the
Carlyle Group, a leacling private equity firm.
Private equity companies buy undervalued businesses and then
resell them for a profit. It is a highly profitable field open to
only the wealthiest players. It has returned an average profit of
34 percent per year over the past decade.
The Carlyle Group became a major force on the world financial
scene by employing prominent exofficeholders, such as former
President George Bush, to provide a foot in the door to government
ministries around the world.
Recent activities of the senior Bush include a meeting last fall
with King Fahd of Saucli Arabia. Bush also met v.ith the prime
minister of South Korea and other government officials, paving the
way for Carlyle to acquire KorAm Bank, considered an important
prize because of its relatively strong financial position. Each
speech he gives on behalf ofCarlyle generally nets the former
president $80,000 to $100,000.
Carlyle's ties to the Bush family date back more than a decade.
In 1990 Carlyle placed George W. Bush on the board of directors of
one of its subsidiaries, Caterair, an airline catering company.
Charles Le,,"s, executive director of the Center for Public
Integrity, commented, "Carlyle is as deeply wired into the current
administration as they can possibly be. George Bush is getting
money from private interests that have business before the
government, while his son is president. And, in a really peculiar
way, George W. Bush could, some day, benefit financially from his
own administration's decisions, through his father's
investments."
In addition to the elder Bush, Carlyle employs former Secretary
of State James Baker and former British Prime Minister John Major.
The firm's advisory board lists such international figures as
former President Fidel Ramos of the Philippines and the former
prime minister ofThailand. Karl Otto Pohl, former president of
Germany's Bundesbank, is also an advisor.
According to a report in the March sedition of the New York
Times, "Carlyle has ownership stakes in 164 companies which last
year employed more than 70,000 people and generated $16 billion in
revenues. About 4S0 institutions-mainly large pension funds and
banks-are Carlyle investors ...
"The California state pension fund invested $30S million ,,~th
Carlyle, and the Texas teachers pension fund-whose board was
appointed when George W. Bush was governor-gave Carlyle $100
million to invest in November."
Carlyle is reportedly the eleventh largest defense contractor in
the US because of its ownership of companies making tanks, aircraft
wings and other equipment. It is also heavily invested in
telecommunications, another field that is strongly affected by
government policy.

Frank Carlucci, a former defense secretary under President
Ronald Reagan, who is Carlyle's chairman, met with his former
college classmate Donald Rumsfeld, Bush's secretary of defense, in
February, The two reportedly spoke about "military matters" at a
time when Carlyle has billions of dollars worth of defense projects
under consideration by the government. Carlyle is currently pushing
for funding of the Crusader heavy-duty tank, which is built by one
of the companies it owns. Carlyle recently lodged a complaint with
the government after another one of its companies lost a $4 billion
contract to make a lightweight combat vehicle.

Joe Miller's hunting and fishing license likely violated
residency requirement Craig Medred i September 28, 2010
o
(Editor's note: Earlier Tuesday Craig Medl'ed looked at whether
Joe Mille.' illegally obtained Q stale /ul11lin9 al1dfishing
liceme, This is an updated version qfthat story, with more comments
from Miller's spokesman.)
One of the first things candidate for U.S. Senator ,Joe Miller
might have done in Alaska after graduating from Yale Law School in
1995 \Vas illegally obtain a state hunting and fishing license, but
his spokesman Tuesday insisted that if the candidate did so it was
only by accident.
Miller "moved here with the intent to stay here," said Miller
spokesman Randy DeSoto. "He moved; he fulfilled all of the
residency requirements in '94."
Only Miller didn't fulfill the residency requirement for a
hunting or fishing license that year. After a short stint as in
intern for the Alaska Department ofLaw from late summer into the
early 'winter of 1994, "he returned to Yale to finish his (law)
degree," as Anchorage writer Michael Carey summarized it. Miller
graduated from Yale Law School in the spring of '995. He then moved
permanently to Alaska.
Miller has never c1isputed that, or at least has not c1isputed
it until Tuesday. DeSoto said Tuesday that Mmer never really
returned to Yale; he merely put in enough "face time" there to
appear to have returned to Yale.
"He waS back and forth to Yale," DeSoto said. Miller, his
spokesman said, might have spent as little as 60 to 90 days at
Yale.
DeSoto couldn't imagine that would c1isqualify the canclidate
from status as a resident for hunting and fishing purposes. But the
state of Alaska has in other cases held that 60 to 90 days Outside
is enough to break the one-year string oftime Alaska requires
citizens to spend here before obtaining a resident hunting and
fishing license.
Miller c1id not break the current state law requiring hunters
and fishermen be "physically present" in the state for 12 months
before obtaining his first resident hunting and fishing license; he
did, however, break What Was the existing law at the time. The law
on residency' was amended in 1998.

Joe Miller's hunting and fishing license likely violated
residency requirement, Alaska Dis... Page 2 of 8
When Miller bought his first resident hunting and fishing
license in 1995, state law (ASI6.05.940(26)) said this: "'Resident'
means a person who for the preceding 12 consecutive months has
maintained a permanent place of abode in the state and who has
continually maintained a voting residence in the state..."
Miller and his wife, Kathleen, bought a house in Anchorage in
1994. Joe established his voting residenL'C in the state on Sept.
16,1994. He would have become a legal resident ofAlaska for hunting
and fishing purposes on Sept. 16, 1995.
On July 31, 1995 he claimed to be a resident in order to buy a
S5license available only to indigent residents ofAlaska. The
license was available only to those "ith a gross income under
$8,200. Miller has not disclosed his gross income for the period in
que.stion.
There was no such cheap license for nonresidents. Nonresidents
were required to pay $300.
key words here are "physically present." Others have cited for
illegally obtaining resident hunting and
fishing licenses in Alaska after doing exactly what Miller And

don't think you understand the law," DeSoto said. "His . lived
here. He arrived in '94. He lived here all months from July to
January. He only spent weeks
a time there (at Yale) ... I'm not sure he even spent a 13()-d"y
stretch there."
Miller, DeSoto insisted, had to have qualified as an Alaska
resident when he bought his first resident hunting and fishing
license, although the spokesman subsequently admitted, "I haven't
looked into the law ... They have to primarily have heen here the
full 12 months?"
Yes, that is pretty much how law enforcement autl10rities in
Alaska have interpreted state rules.
In one notable case earlier this year, a Yakutat fishing guide
who had come north to fish for 21 years, who had legally qualified
for Permanent Fund Dividend checks, who had long before registered
to vote as an Alaska resident, who had a Alaska driver's license,
and who had often spent 10 or 11 months per year in the state, was
threatened with 60 days in the Juneaujail, more than $21,000 in
fines, and a lifetime ban from the Permanent Fund dividend for
obtaining a resident hunting and fishing license before doing 12
L'Onsecutive months physically in the state.
Guide Ron Pelissier said Alaska State Troopers were very clear
in explaining the law to him. He said a trooper sat across from him
and his living rOOIn in the tiny coastal village explained that he
was in big trouble because he hadn't had his butt on the ground in
Yakutat for 12 straight months.

''They didn't have no sympathy," Pelissier said at the time. "I
don't understand. I have a lot offriends here who leave for the
winter. The trooper said, 'Yeah, but they were there for 12 months
consecntive once.' I didn't know you had to be chained to the
house. It's not like I just abandon the place. My heater runs 12
months a year. My refrigerator is full year round. I qualified for
the Permanent Fund Dh~dend. I spend $360 a month for heat."
Miller, as portrayed by DeSoto, would fit in pretty much the
Same situation as Pelissier. He was sort of an Alaska resident for
those 12 months before he bought a special resident hunting and
fishing license for indigent Alaskans. The Am:horage Daily News
broke the story of the indigent license Monday, reporting that
after Miller returned to Alaska in the summer of '95, having
earlier purchased a home in South
Anchorage and starting working as an attorney, he obtained a
resident low-income hunting and fishing
license. The legality of that act is now being debated by
Alaskans.
Alaskans making more than $8,200 per year aren't supposed to
qualify for the special license, but DeSoto said the family met the
guidelines for the 1995 licenses. DeSoto told the Daily News that
Miller had been a full-time law student at Yale on a merit
scholarship the pre,~ous years and his wife was taking care of
their children, with family expenses paid through loans.
Californian who hasn't been here long, DeSoto in an illtlerviiew
admitted to being a bit confused by Alaska
and hunting rules and all the fuss made about by Alaskans.
DeSoto is a former assistant to senior
excultiv"s with Walt Disney in California and a onetime clerk
with Universal Studios, who would have no
to know that Alaska troopers don't care when aU'VOI.e moved to
the state. What they care about is makirlg sure someone has spent a
full year physically in
state before buying a resident hunting and fishing lie,mse ..
DeSoto also did not know that the cheap license
~~~~~~~~~ available only to state residents. Miller had to
claim
~ ____________~_~_resi.dellcy to qualify for the that
license.
All of this might seem like nonsense to many Outside, but
residency for hunting and fishing is a big deal in the 49th state.
Alaskans take the requirement seriously, and enforcement of it nets
the state tens of thousands of dollars in revenue every year. How
many tens of thousands is unclear. When Alaska Dispatch earlier
this year queried the state Department of Public Safety for a count
on the number of citations written in connection ,,-jth the law and
the dollar value of the fines collected, an agency spokeswoman
countered that it would be too time consuming to try to go through
the many cases.
Alaska Wildlife Trooper press releases often report a litany of
citations for this offense. Troopers are
sticklers about enforcing the residency requirement of" 12 or
more consecutive months of residency" to
which Alaskans swear when they buy their fishing or hunting
license. One ease in point from earlier this
year:

On Thursday April 15, 2010 Alaska Wildlife Troopers contacted
Benjamin Moser, age 27 from Anchorage reference the purchase of his
resident 2008 Alaska fishing license. Investigation revealed Moser
purchased a 2008 Alaska resident fishing license in May 2008, only
eight months after moving to Alaska. Moser was issued a citation
with the bail set at $310.00.
Despite having come to Alaska in 2007 and having proved his
intent to stay in the state by staying, Moser was cited in the
spring of this year because someone had ratted him out for buying a
resident sport fishing license two years earlier when he was 25
years old and relatively new to the state, although he'd endured a
,,-inter which one would think might qualify someone for Alaska
residency.
UPDATE: This story has been corrected to report a change to
Alaska state law made in 1998. An earlier version incorrectly
repoIted that Joe Miller appeared to have violated current state
law.

,;l"CUII1!l supervisor at the time -- Dolan states that the
==::====~=::=:::==,~==~offi(:~ staff felt none of what Miller was
saying made any
sense and that he was acting bizarre.
Miller had also been talking about threats he had recently
received, but wouldn't offer specific details. Dolan aIso didn't
trust his slories about the computer use because he had, SOme time
earlier, been asking a lot of questions about accessing the
computer servers and wanting to make sure they were safe from
hackers.
He insisted his colleagues were "overreacting" and even
attempted to shift the blame to them.
"He maintained the whole time be did not violate the computer
use policy and that actually all of us did for not securing our
computers," Dolan wrote.
Miller was immeiliately placed on administrative leave and
notified that an investigation would ensue. Unhappy about that
prospect, he indicated he would rather resign than undergo that
process or face being fired, accoriling to notes in his file made
by his supen1sor.
Miller eventually came clean.
"I was an ass. I was beyond stupid," he said according to notes
in the file. It was a "lapse of judgment" and a "total screw
up."
He had "too much on his platter" and was ha,ing problems with
his wife because he was "too flipping busy," according to the
notes.
In a March 17, 2008 e-mail to one of his supenisors, borough
attorney Rene Broker, Miller formally
admitted to the allegations against bim:

"Over the lunch hour this past Wednesday, 1got on three
computers (not belonging to me) in the office. All of them were on
and none of them were locked. I accessed my personal website, for
political purposes (participated in a poll), and then cleared the
cache on each computer. 1did the same thing on my computer. Jill
asked the office what happened. I lied about accessing all of the
computers. I then admitted about accessing the computers, but lied
about what 1was doing. Finally, 1admitted what 1did."
"I acknowledge that my aceess to others' computers was "Tong,
participating in the poll was "'Tong, and
there is absolutely no excuse for any of it," he added.
Nine days later, the borough disciplined Miller for
inappropriate conduct and inappropriate use of
computer and network resources.
"You accessed three Legal Department employee computers for a
non-borough purpose and then you
were dishonest both about your conduct and the reasons for your
conduct," wrote Broker in a memo
outlining Miller's punishment. "It has been apparent in the last
several months that you are under
significant stress and it has affected your judgment as
evidenced by your actions on Mar. 12,2008."
When asked in early April how he was doing, Miller indicated he
had to find a way to be less busy. "I'm
fine but need to slow down," he told Broker in an c-mail.
According to then-borough mayor Jim Whitaker. who earlier this
month publicly revealed Miller's
politicking after Miller refused to discuss it himself, the
incident was far from minor.

Dolan to Broker in an e-mail Sept 1, 2009, the same day the borough
accepted Miller's resignation.
The reference comes in an e-mail string discussing Miller's
planned time off -- and his looming departure from the borough.

In latc August 2009, Miller wrote a detailed letter to Broker
resigning his position effective Sept. 23. He
cited a declining office relationship stemming from disputes
over cases, outside attorneys, cancelled time
off for hunting trips with bis sons, and concerns over the way a
potential conflict of interest was handled.
Still, be said, be wanted to use leave time during some of his
remaining month, for a medical procedure.
Broker appears to have been unsympathetic to Miller's reque~sts
for personal time off Sbe'd already
rejected leave to go elk bunting later in September and bear
hunting in October. The office needed him to
be on-hand, she indicated, and only the medical leave would be
approved.
Although he had been approved to take three and a half weeks off
for medical leave to undergo an
unidentified procedure at the Veterans Administration facility
in Anchorage, Miller apparently cancelled
the appointment after arriving in Anchorage, yet refused to
return to work as directed, Broker later
concluded the urgency ofMiller's medical issue may have been
overblown.
The records don't reveal what medical condition Miller may have
been seeking treatment for; medical terms have been redacted in
compliance with the judge's order.
On Sept. I, the borough attorney's office was notified by the VA
that Miller had cancelled the medical
appointment. When he failed to show up at work that day,
supervisors discussed, via e-mail, what to do.
His time off 'would no longer be consider medical leave.
They asked him to be in the office by 2 p.m. He refused and
resigned immediately.
Miller called the line drawn by tl,e borough over the
technicalities of his time offas a "retaliatOlY act due to our
differences," but Dolan refused to budge.
''You cannot obtain leave on the basis that you need [redacted]
immediately and keep the leave wheu that
circumstance changes significantly. Instead you did no! show up
to work today and when requested to do
so you resigned effective immediately. What exactly am I missing
bere," she "Tote in an e-mail to Miller
about two hours after accepting his resignation,
By that time, Miller's supervisors were already wary of the
part-time attorney who clearly was on his way
out E-mails in his personnel file show colleagues and other
outside attorneys had been told not to copy
him on documents or correspondence having to do ,,;th what was
once hi, biggest case -- the trans-Alaska
oil pipeline valuation matter,
When he failed to keep his medical appointment and then refused
to come to work, that was it.
"So do we just oonsider him to have quit ",,,thout notice today
then?" Dolan wrote to Broker.
'That's how I read it," Broker replied.
His personnel file includes the notation that he is not eligible
for re-hire for at least three years.

Miller's quest to protect his records
Since June, Miller has been at the center of a public records
fight aimed at finding out mm-e about his
background, particularly the seven years he spent as a part-time
attorney for the Fairbanks North Star
Borough. Former state legislator and political blogger Andrew
BaJero, who is supporting Murkowski in
the Senate race, first suggested on his website that Miller was
fired from his borough job or forced to
reSlgu.
The borough, citing a local ordinance that keeps personnel files
confidential unless the employee agrees to their release, refused
to discuss Miller's work there or release any records.
Miller initially showed Alaska Dispatch and other media his
resignation letter -- which was heavily redacted -- but refused to
let them take a copy. In mid-July, the borough released about 150
pages of documents from Miller's personnel file, including a
less-hea,11y redacted copy of Miller's resignation letter, which
showed he quit over a disagreement on a case and because his
vacation plans -- he was going t
