Alaska Personnel Board Refuses to Play Kangaroo Court for Palin...

Troopergate: Not Over Yet


Source: Newsweek

...Some weeks ago, the McCain team devised a plan to have Palin file an ethics complaint against herself with the State Personnel Board, arguing that it alone was capable of conducting a fair, nonpartisan inquiry into whether she fired Monegan because he refused to fire Wooten, who had been involved in a messy custody battle with her sister. Some Democrats ridiculed the move, noting that the personnel board answered to Palin. But the board ended up hiring an aggressive Anchorage trial lawyer, Timothy Petumenos, as an independent counsel. McCain aides were chagrined to discover that Petumenos was a Democrat who had contributed to Palin's 2006 opponent for governor, Tony Knowles. Palin is now scheduled to be questioned next week, and the counsel's report could be released soon after. "We took a gamble when we went to the personnel board," said a McCain aide who asked not to be identified discussing strategy. While the McCain camp still insists Palin "has nothing to hide," it acknowledges a critical finding by Petumenos would be even harder to dismiss.

1. The Personnel board should also look into Gov. Palin's Fraud.
The Gov. charged the state with Per Diem money while she stayed at her own home & charged the state with Travel Expenses that did not pertain to Gov. Activities.

Gov. Palin needs to be Impeached, now!!!

At the very least, Alaskans need to mount a Recall Petition & toss her out. She is corrupt & inept. The spotlight now has revealed her unethical & perhaps criminal actions as Gov. The VP position is way beyond her level. She is unfit to be Gov., much less VP or possibly Pres. of the USA..
