Sarah Palin cleared in troopergate probe

A state personnel board in Alaska concluded that Governor Sarah Palin (upper photo) violated no ethics laws when she fired her public safety commissioner.

The report from the board said, “There is no probable cause to believe that the governor, or any other state official, violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act in connection with these matters.”

It is curious that the report from the board exonerating Sarah Palin did not arrive until the day before the election.

A separate legislative investigation concluded that Governor Palin had abused her office.

Alaska State senator Hollis French (lower photo), a Democrat, led the legislative investigation.
