Reader SBD, who is one of the best researchers I have seen, has pulled together an exhaustive history of events and reports surrounding Palin’s battles with Walt Monegan and is allies. It is a comment worthy of being a post all on its own, and is being copied here. Not surprising, the records shows that at the time Monegan was asked to take another position (he was not fired, he quit instead of taking the other job) all the reporting and screaming from Palin’s opponents revolved around the budget issues.
