Though too late to factor much into Tuesday’s election, it’s interesting to note Alaska’s Personnel Board cleared Gov. Sarah Palin of any ethics violations in her firing of the state’s public safety commissioner. The independent agency deals with allegations of violations of state ethics laws involving executive branch employees. Its findings contradicted those of an investigator working for the state legislature, who reported a couple weeks ago. The new report said the earlier finding wrongly concluded Palin abused her power by allowing aides and her husband to pressure former Commissioner Walt Monegan, who claimed he was fired for refusing to dismiss Palin’s ex-brother-in-law from the state troopers. Again, the news comes too late to have much effect on the presidential election, but it might diminish “troopergate” as an issue in Palin’s future.
