Palin ethics report finds abuse of power and ethics violations
A bipartisan Alaska Legislative Council report concludes Gov. Sarah Palin abused power by pressuring for the firing of Trooper Michael Wooten and failing to curb her husband Todd's actions. It notes Palin violated the ethics act and cites Monegan's firing as a contributing factor, with other findings on workers compensation and AG information requests. The panel stops short of recommending consequences, deferring to other branches.
