While searching the Anchorage Daily News to research the firing of the Wasilla police chief I found this! This is an unbelievable series of events but their it is in the archives!
Oct 1996, Palin asks for "resignations" of 5 top officials to test "loyalty" to her new administration. In January, she fires two of them, with a note on their desks, for no reason. Just as she fired the top state cop for no reason according to the initial report, she fired the top cop in her town of 5000. Just like the current troopergate, this led to legal action. It appears the Wasilla firings were because these officials supported the other guy in the election. A new mayor requests "resignations" to prove "loyalty" because these officials supported the other guy????? Is her ridiculous denials of involvement in the new troopergate believable with this pathetic petty arrogant start to her political career???? These town officials were doing their jobs for years and I found no indication of any type of problem. I stumbled onto this and have not seen coverage of this episode. Feel free to forward this far and wide. Palin is a bully! http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=AS&p_theme=as&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_text_search-0=new%20AND%20wasilla%20AND%20mayor%20AND%20asks&s_dispstring=new%20wasilla%20mayor%20asks%20AND%20date(1996)&p_field_date-0=YMD_date&p_params_date-0=date:B,E&p_text_date-0=1996&xcal_numdocs=20&p_perpage=10&p_sort=_rank_:D&xcal_ranksort=4&xcal_useweights=yes Glenn ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
