I still don’t get what was wrong with the firing if she could fire anyone at will for any reason. So, now what?
Now, the libs will make a big deal about it, calling it an abuse of power, and digging up some heinous crimes to compare it to.. be ready..
Can anyone find a similar example of a Democrat going against ‘the system’ to fire someone in a similar circumstance where they praised him. It may be good for a quick reaction.
IANAL, so this is all just my understanding, but... Read the report. It's not just about the Monegan firing. It concluded she violated AS 39.52.110(a) of the Ethics Act, based on her actions in trying to get Trooper Wooten fired.
The problem is, they slapped the Trooper on the wrist, and couldn't reopen the disciplinary investigation, so her pressure to fire him was deemed inappropriate.
It also basically said that without her testimony, the claims against her weren't refuted.
IMO, rather than what she allegedly did, she should have pushed for charges against Trooper Wooten, as he (seems to have) admitted crimes during the previous investigation.
