Palin's Firing of Staffer Under Ethics Probe

Kyle Hopkins of The Anchorage Daily News earlier this month wrote about an investigation that has centered on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's staff:

The investigation stems from Palin's July firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. Monegan later said he felt pressured by the governor's office to fire Palin's ex-brother-in-law, Mike Wooten, a trooper who had been locked in a child-custody battle with Palin's sister.

Palin had placed an aide on paid leave until the investigator completed his work in examining whether ethics or personnel guidelines were violated.
