Here is what AP reports on Palin abuse of power:
"ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state's public safety commissioner. The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn't the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor."
Daily Kos adds that the Palin abuse of power looks "more like the Cheney administration by the day."
Gsadamb reports on the story writing that "oday, the findings in Troopergate, the investigation into an alleged abuse of power scandal, have been authorized for release by the Alaska Legislature. Just in case you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, the investigation focuses on whether Sarah Palin exerted improper influence in getting her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper, fired. The investigator, Steve Branchflower, has delivered his findings in a 263 page report to the Alaska Legislature, who voted to release it to the public."
The Council voted 12-0 to release the report (can be downloaded here), except for certain parts deemed confidential.
