A Resolution of Troopergate

Gov. Palin has been cleared of any possible ethics violations she faced in the Troopergate saga.  The report, issued the day before polls opened to voters, stated that Gov. Palin legally fired Monegan.

"Petumenos concluded that the Legislature's special counsel, former state prosecutor Steve Branchflower, used the wrong state law as the basis for his conclusions and also misconstrued the evidence.

"(Branchflower) assumed that the governor knew about things and should have stopped them, when the evidence we induced is that she didn't know about them in the first place," Petumenos said at a Monday afternoon press conference."

In Alaska, this matter does not carry much weight as many voters going to the polls today are sided with John McCain.  In other states however, this might give voters an amount of assurance that who they're voting for is a credible politician.
