ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A report has cleared Alaska Gov. Sarah
Palin of ethics violations in the firing of her public safety
commissioner.
Released Monday, the report says there is no probable cause to
believe Palin or any other state official violated the Alaska
Executive Ethics Act in connection with the firing. The report was
prepared by Timothy Petumenos, an independent counsel for the
Alaska Personnel Board.
A separate legislative investigation recently concluded that
Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, abused her office
by allowing her husband and staffers to pressure the public safety
commissioner to fire a state trooper who went through a nasty
divorce from Palin's sister.
Palin says the firing had nothing to do with the trooper.
