Wednesday, Governor Sean Parnell took the first steps in creating his own administration that will be different from what he inherited when Sarah Palin quit last year. It is the same step taken when one governor takes over from another – and, since it didn’t take place when Palin left office, it could indicate a noticeable break from the past.
He is asking for resignations from all Palin appointees – at the cabinet level, division directors and agency heads. Parnell says they can re-apply for the jobs and he will consider the applications, but indicated that some will likely be rejected.
Parnell says he is asking for recommendations on the structure of the administration as well. New governors usually review the work of various departments under their control. But Parnell is looking for an interdepartmental review centered on the topics that each department deals with. These vary, with one working group dealing with Energy and the Environment, another on Health and Education, still another on Public Safety. There are six overlapping topics in all — each with its own group of external reviewers.
He says government can always improve.
The transition will be headed by Bryan Butcher, currently the director of government relations for the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation. Parnell says he expects to receive the reports in December.
Then he can accept or reject the ones he doesn’t want...(I think)
Chet 99 is no longer with us on FreeRepublic.
Seems he stepped over the line once too many times for Jim.
This is no big deal. It’s SOP.
This is the 4th that I’ve seen. Chet 99 must have run out of Pit bull articles.
Who is going to post Pit Bull stories now? Oh the huge Manatee.
just curious, what he do
“Governor Sean Parnell took the first steps in creating his own administration that will be different “
Oh-oh! Dofferent. Is that the same thing as “change”? Oh-oh! Oh-oh! Hold onto your wallets, Alaskans, and your freedoms!

Oh-oh! Different. Is that the same thing as “change”? Oh-oh! Oh-oh! Hold onto your wallets, Alaskans, and your freedoms!
Apparently he posted a series of negative threads about Mrs. Palin.
Is posting news articles that aren’t flattering to Palin enough to get one banned now, or did he do something else?
Frankly, this one isn’t negative. Parnell apparently allowed Palin’s people to keep their jobs for a while, rather than kick them out when he took over. Surely they would have known that eventually he’d put his own people in place, but it was nice of him not to make them all suffer after Palin resigned.
Maybe it really was the pit bull articles that got Chet in trouble.
