In what is being termed by some as a
"Troopergate", Palin faces scrutiny from the Alaskan legislative council who've subpoenaed the state staff. The attorney general says that the state staff will not obey the subpoena order. The dispute has risen from a previous incident where Palin fired public safety commissioner Walt Monegan. It has been alleged that she fired Monegan because he wouldn't fire state trooper Mike Wooten, who had gone through a bitter divorce with Palin's sister, before Palin became governor. If more attention is given to this and more credence is given to the story, this could spell trouble for McCain's campaign. It has been noted by the Alaskan Daily News that "actions that could slow the probe, possibly past Election Day" have been taken.
