Alaska Board Clears Palin in Trooper Case - Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/03/AR2008110303043.html?hpid=topnews)
From the article:
"Timothy Petumenos, investigator for the personnel board, said there was "no probable cause to believe that Governor Palin violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act" by firing Monegan or "in any other respect in connection with the employment of Alaska State Trooper Michael Wooten."
In an interview, Petumenos said his action ends the board's investigation. Petumenos, who called himself a "loyal Democrat," also said that he did not time the report's release to coincide with the election, and that he made it public as soon as it was done. "If a report like this had been released earlier, it would have done the governor a great deal more of good than releasing on the night before the election," he said."
Sure, the charges based on the incorrect statute, front page news.
The panel charged by law to investigate such matters finding her innocent, bury the story.
No media bias.
