The messages on this blog seem to be concentrating on the issue with Trooper Wooten; however, I see some other truths in your message. "Walt Monegan got fired because he had the audacity to tell Governor Palin no, when apparently nobody is allowed to say no to Governor Palin." "According to the Legislative Finance Agency, the public safety budget in fy09 was cut by .06% while the governor's own budget increased 22.6%." Since she first took over many shady deals have taken place within the State system. She has appointed friends to exempt positions with no experience in the area they were working in. These people then proceed to run their Departments or Divisions as they see fit, promoting employees in the classified services promotions without a recruitment process, changing job duties at will (without rewriting job decsriptions), rewriting job descriptions that give some employee promotions to new positions and other employees the work they are supposed to be doing for the "new job". The atmosphere is such that employees cannot say anything about these problems without being punished in various suble and not so subtle ways. The Gov. is also expanding her Anchorage office by about 20 office spaces, requiring other state employees to move so her office can have more space. Someone should look into the turnover that happened in many departments. Look at the number of long term employees that left, look at the number of vacancies, look at how long it takes to fill vacancies. Morale among State employees is as low as I have ever seen it in over 20 years. Yet we recently got the following message requesting that we make suggestions on how to cut the budget. "From: Rehfeld, Karen J (GOV) Subject: $20 Million Savings Target Good Morning – I have received some feedback from legislators who are hearing from their constituents that we are “cutting the FY09 budget” and impacting services. In response, I explained the governor’s concern about managing the growth in the operating budget and her goal in setting the $20 million savings target. I let them know that we have asked agencies to see what we may be able to accomplish in savings in FY09 by managing those things we have control over, finding efficiencies, and implementing changes in business processes and practices that could ultimately result in some savings. We used 2.9% of GF personal services to establish the savings target so that departments would have a number to work toward, but we did not suggest that savings would have to come from personal services. We encourage departments to look at all line items for potential savings. We typically end up with a GF lapse at the end of the year without imposing any savings targets. We have NOT asked agencies to cut services or positions. We have suggested delaying the filling of vacant positions or reassigning work, if possible, to achieve some savings. " I am thinking that maybe Walt Monegan told her that her could not cut the budget further without cutting services.

Nothing could be further from the truth! However, until the laws are changed to make shared custody the norm, women like Molly McCann, my ex and all of the other women out there who put their childrens' needs last and carry out long-winded vendetta's against their ex-husbands will never be stopped. Women like that think of their children as trophies to be won, rather than seeing them as impressionable human beings who's childhood hurts will stay with them for a lifetime. Manipulation of custody schedules, calling cops not because they need them but because they can, withholding visits because they have some need to exercise "power" over another, frivolous claims in lawsuits, participating in illegal activities while married and blaming the other spouse for them after the divorce, all of these actions are clearly indicative of narcissistic behavior from people who really should not be raising children in the first place. The plain truth is that children should have equal and open access to both of their parents because these circumstances are the only hope that children of divorce have of living some resemblence of a "normal" life. Reading Mike Wooten's tale of woe has been almost like reading my own story lived by another man. Until the Legislature tells the Courts that fully shared custody (50/50 across the board, barring the presence of extreme extenuating circumstances)is to be the law in this State, women like Molly and my ex will continue to run roughshod over their families, creating emotional scars within their children that may never heal, and abusing expensive public resources in the process. I am fortunate that my "ever-lovin' ex" doesn't have access to Palin or her Cabinet, or I might be next on Governor Revenge's hit list. Then again, since she used to work with Leighow, I might receive a visit from our Governor or one of her misguided minions tonight! Sarah Palin needs to be impeached for abuse of power and she needs to go away now. The facts are down in black and white in the form of sworn Court documents and it is painfully clear that this person has NO business running our State. The Legislature needs to shoot down AGIA on Monday. Barring that they should table the discussion until the next session, while they determine how many lies have been shoved their direction on this issue by a Governor who is OBVIOUSLY challenged where telling the truth is concerned. Sarah lied in her public statement yesterday, she lied on the news last night and she has been caught lying to us regarding other issues of importance to our State. Sarah must either step down, or impeachment proceedings must be started immediately. Sarah Palin must be stopped from doing any further damage to our State. I plan to contact the entire Legislature today and strongly urge them to do two things: 1. Stop AGIA in it's tracks on Monday and, 2. Immediately put a Special Prosecutor with Subpoena powers in place to thoroughly investigate this ethically challenged Governor, so that we can have all of our i's dotted and t's crossed when we unceremoniously remove her lying ass from office. » reply |

Governor Palin put in a written statement that she offered Commissioner Monegan the position at the ABC board so he could use his experience and energy to better effect the alcohol problems in western Alaska. What a crock!! ABC doesn't intercept bootlegging and illegal alcohol transport in the Bush, the Troopers do that. In fact, it is listed in their mission statement as one of the highest priorities. See the irony? Palin doesn't even recognize how off base her impromptu "justification" was, because she apparently doesn't even know the responsibilities and duties of various departments well enough to distinguish what ABC does (alcohol compliance for licensed establishments) and what AST does. She took Monegan AWAY from a position where he was causing to be done exactly what she claimed he should do if moved. She was about as prepared for this as Kopp was to answer questions about the sexual harassment allegations against him. On TV he looked like he swallowed a toad or something. It was really pathetic. Understand this, nothing in Kopp's experiences at the Kenai police department have prepared him to effectively serve as the Commissioner for the Department of Public Safety. He is way over his head on this one, and it will show. I just hope the public and the working Troopers don't have to suffer too much until this bad situation created by Palin gets fixed. » reply Tisk, Tisk, Tisk. Governor Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-17 21:39. Tisk, Tisk, Tisk. Governor Palin and her family seem to be chastizing Officer Wooten for allegedly driving his trooper vehicle while intoxicated, yet is it possible that Governor Palin's brother Chuck Heath is the same person listed in the court records as having numerous DUI's. If that's her brother then I think the Palin/Heath family needs to back up and take a good look at themselves. Not that I condone anyone from driving while intoxicated, because I don't, however someone probably should look into that further. I would call that extremely hypocritical, should that be the case. After reading this blog I am thoroughly disgusted at Governor Palin and her family should these allegations be true. Using a public office to manipulate the system to be vindictive towards someone for a personal matter is outrageous. Furthermore, the Governor talks so highly about children and family, so unless there are some gross facts to consider about Officer Wooten and why he should not have equal custody, then the Governor and her family should practice what they preach. At this point, I tend to believe Governor Palin is not who she portrayed herself to be and if in fact she and her family have been harrassing Officer Wooten I would consider this just as sickening as the on-going Veco saga. » reply Good point !

I can affirm several points in this...My husband has known about almost all of these issues and complained to me about them for many months. Reason I am not saying who, is exactly as stated. Palin is known among many as "The Wicked Witch of the North" and many fear her wrath and her families far-reaching wrath. Wooten is, I am sure, not perfect or completely "innocent". But I believe that he does not deserve the intrusion into his professional life, especially by way of wasting the publics resources or by way of illegally taking his secure work records. The State Troopers are, as Monegan stated, understaffed, overworked, have low moral, and are under appreciated and he was trying to bring them back to a portion of what they used to be. Palin has prejudice against the Troopers and because she cannot put her personal vendetta away long enough to be only governor, she is mixing the two. This scares me as a citizen not under APD's jurisdiction. I have heard that the Troopers are so overstretched, that the public is paying for it. I have been very disappointed in her as a governor, in her decisions and reasons for them. Many of those who can speak out against her, are unfortunately, "under" her and have their families and livelihoods to think about. Truth be told, I would like to hear her side of the story. I would like to know why she made her decisions, what caused her to fire Monegan, why she avoids certain issues, and what was the huge stink that caused her to take off the gauntlets when dealing with Wooten. But there has been nothing from her side...curious that. » reply Dear Legislature Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-17 19:54. Dear Legislature, Our financial future is in your hands. Stand up and question EVERYTHING. Paying TransCanada to do business with our state...where did that idea come from? Oh, the Palin administration. From the Anchorage Daily News 12/13/07: "Rutherford had worked as a Juneau lobbyist for TransCanada's pipeline subsidiary, Foothills, and made $40,200. Today Rutherford heads Palin's gas pipeline team. Palin said this week she knows about Rutherford's work for Foothills and doesn't believe it is a conflict of interest. "Going on five years later, no," Palin said." A conflict of interest is a situation in which someone in a position of trust, such as a lawyer, insurance adjuster, a politician, executive or director of a corporation or a medical research scientist or physician, has competing professional or personal interests. Such competing interests can make it difficult to fulfill his or her duties impartially. A conflict of interest exists even if no unethical or improper act results from it. A conflict of interest can create an appearance of impropriety that can undermine confidence in the person, profession, or court system. A conflict can be mitigated by third party verification or third party evaluation noted...—but it still exists. -Wikipedia Conflict of interest for Sarah Palin appears to be that which conflicts with her interests.

The first was Andrew Niemiec, a DOT executive who was arrested on the Parks Highway in late 2006, highly intoxicated (blew .22 hours after the arrest!), but more importantly assaulted the female state trooper on the scene by kicking her in the groin, and calling her a foul female specific expletive. All documented in the Fairbanks paper. But a few months after this arrest, which resulted in his dismissal by the Murkowski administration, he was hired by Palin to be executive director of the Knik Arm Bridge authority! Hard to believe but TRUE. Now Mr. Kopp, who begins his state career defending the indefensible. But here is the common thread. Both are younger men, her generation, and both are well above average in the looks department. In other words, in her mind, age and looks trump other faults. Palin herself is a looker and works hard to maintain it. It obviously motivates her. One last observation. Her policy on letting retired state employees, fill badly needed vacancies is growing increasingly hostile. No matter the value, and the difficulty filling posts from the normal recruitment pools, the answer is now generally no to such requests. She is openly hostile to people older than herself. Some agencies simply can no longer find viable candidates. This doesn't matter, to Palin who continues to squash every attempt to retain departing employees and the skills and knowledge they can continue to provide. » reply Andrew Niemiec Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 2008-07-18 11:30. I too could not believe that Niemiec was given another position by Palin. But there is even more to that story than you gave. Niemiec was the Northern Region Director of DOT under Murkowski. This incident took place shortly after Palin was elected but prior to her being sworn in and word was that Niemiec was Palin's choice for Commissioner of DOT. Niemiec was driving from Anchorage to Fairbanks. He was driving erratically and almost collided head on with oncoming traffic. Niemiec then struck a (DOT maintained) guardrail and went off of the road. A male Trooper responded from Fairbanks and contacted Niemiec and a witness. The Trooper determined that Niemiec was obviously intoxicated after he failed Field Sobriety Tests. The Trooper attempted to place Niemiec under arrest. Niemiec refused to comply with the Trooper's orders and elbowed the Trooper in the face. The Trooper and Niemiec ended up in a ground fight in the middle of no where on the Parks Highway in well below freezing weather. Niemiec attempted to get his arm around the Trooper's neck a number of times and repeatedly knee'd the Trooper in the ribs. The Trooper and two bystanders ended up fighting with Niemiec. The male Trooper got the handcuffs on Niemiec at which time Niemiec became very obscene and screamed that he works for the Governor and he was going to have the Trooper fired. The female Trooper then showed up and was assaulted by Niemiec as she was helping put him in the patrol car. Niemiec was charged with DUI,Resisting Arrest, and 2 counts of Assaulting a Trooper. Of course the District Attorney dropped the assault charges because assault on a police officer carries a minimum of 60 days in jail on each count. Niemiec was allowed to resign and then was give the new position by Palin. Where is the Governor's support of her Troopers there? Palin is all about her cronies and not about integrity. » reply Not to mention her ethics czar! Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-17 20:02.

Submitted by lowandslow (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-17 18:18. Allow me (non Alaskan) to ramble on for a minute. After Palin's name started being tossed around the blogisphere I did what every informed citizen does, I googled her name to get a little background on her. What I found was a little puzzling, first I came across the Alaskan oil production tax rate story and thought, "well that's kind of the opposite of political conservatism?". A little more research got me reading about the dairy fiasco then AGIA (which lead me to this blog) and I came to the conclusion that she wasn't really a viable candidate for VP. That took all of an hour I guess. Yet I wondered "why is she so popular?" I could see how her tax bill oil policies would be a popular position in the state but not as big as her numbers were. That's when I realized she must possess something in her personality that she has that much power over people. As timed passed and her name came up more frequently on the blogs the mindless cheerleading for her was (and still is) ludicrous so I started offering some criticism on her actual polices, nothing personal mind you, and I was and still get just ripped apart. These are people that know absolutely nothing about her politics yet would go to any length to defend her. What's with that? How does she do that? What is it with her and this power she has over some people? Which brings us to this post. After reading about the Wooten's I have to wonder how much power Palin has over even her sister. I've had a sister that went through a divorce, most people have had someone close to them go though it and there's always bitterness and a reaction to get revenge but most people do their best to discourage those instincts in someone you care about as they're nothing but destructive to everyone involved. Granted I know nothing about anyone involved but it seems to me Palin did just the opposite, she didn't help her sister, she's done nothing but exasperate the pain in the Wooten family. Again, I believe it comes back to the power this woman has over people, this time her family. The damage this woman leaves in her wake is astounding yet people will jump to her defense. Mind boggling the power she has over people. » reply Power and family Submitted by scott (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-17 19:49. I have thought about not reponding to this, but since you comment on her power over her family, I must say the following (from personal experience); The Governors sister is much the same as the Governor without the position of power. She too, is vindictive and seemingly stuck in high school drama land. I will not comment on the divorce, as I was not there, but if her interactions with those she associates herself with are any indication, her ex-husband, (Officer Wooten) got out for good reason. Unfortunately for him, the Governor is in a position to "stick it to him" and he now has to defend his honor and his family in the public spotlight. This is as bad an abuse of power and pattern of abuse as there is in this type of venue, and it is unfortunate Wooten has to go to battle again, but I hope he knows he has friends and being sided with Walt Monegan is a great place to be. » reply molly mccann is nothing more Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 2008-07-18 09:26. molly mccann is nothing more than a free nanny to the palins, how sad for the palin kids to not only not have parents to raise them but to be being raised by someone that does not even see the value of being a decent parent and human being themselves.

You are absolutely correct. I had not "red" all the documents before I started running my mouth. I took the effort to print out all 33 pages of Document 3 in order to confirm your allegations. What I found out was Payton is considered an "adrenaline junky" who insisted on being tasered by Wooten. Payton's mother was upstairs calling down to her son "not to do it". Molly McCann knew Payton and Bristol were downstairs with Wooten, and knew that Wooten was going to give Payton a quick shock with a training cartridge. On page 16 of Document 3: "Bristol stated that Payton volunteered to be tased, and that Mike had offered to see if she wanted to try also. Bristol refused stating that she was scared. Bristol was also asked why she waited so long and brought the incident up after two years. She then stated 'because of the divorce and stuff.' Bristol further advised that she just learned that the Taser has killed a lot of people while researching it with her mom." Other responses to this allegation include persons who claim to have heard Payton bragging about his being Tasered. If Molly McCann was so worried about her son being tasered by Wooten, why was she upstairs giving her other children a bath? Why wasn't she on the phone calling for help?

While the "juicy" part of this story is the possibility of impropriety on the Governors part. I see the underlying, much overlooked issue here being the first part of the article, the budget issues. As I and many others have been crying for months, Alaska is NOT SAFE. As Mr. Cyr wrote in his ADN compass piece recently, Alaska is and has been #1 in forcible rape; we are #3 in assaults and #1 in Alcohol related assaults. Alaska is ranked the 2nd most dangerous place to raise a child IN THE NATION. This should shock and offend every good citizen of this state! The governor speaks now of improving recruitment and retention of State Troopers, yet just months ago, during Trooper contract negotiations, it was the Troopers who were begging the state to make their jobs more attractive so they could improve recruitment and retention, and the governor and her negotiators ignored them. Commissioner Krietzer of the DOA told Mr. Cyr, to his face, that if Troopers didn't like their jobs, they could quit and if that left vacancies then so be it! Does this sound like an administration that fully supports public safety and its Troopers to you? That doesn't sound like someone who wants to "improve recruitment and retention" to me. They might as well have said; "If your daughter is raped or your son assaulted because there were shortages of Troopers, so be it." Alaska is becoming one of the most dangerous states in the country and Mr. Monegan knew it, but Sarah didn't want to hear it. I believe this is just as important as her treatment of Trooper Wooten. » reply Palin owes explanation in firing of Walt Monegan Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-17 18:46. Palin owes explanation in firing of Walt Monegan, By John Cyr "The governor must be aware of the abysmal crime statistics in Alaska. She ran her campaign on a platform of public safety. These statistics are a disgrace. Alaska ranks No. 1 in forcible rape, No. 3 in aggravated assault, 15th in vehicle theft and 22nd in murder and manslaughter." » reply Recruitment and Retention Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-17 18:43. The only way to improve recruitment and retention without lowering our standards is to increase incentives for new recruits as well as those already serving as Troopers. The State is flush with cash, the Governor is willing to give each of us a check for $1200, yet we can't afford to provide a decent wage for our men and women who put their lives on the line every day so the rest of us can sleep peacefully at night? To All Troopers: Thank you for the sacrifices made by you and your families so that Alaska can remain a great place to live. Thank you for your courage. You are men and women of honor.

Submitted by John Wooten (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-17 16:00. My name is John Wooten and I am Trooper Wooten's older brother. I have been a Firefighter/Paramedic for over 15 years and I have never seen a public saftey officer treated in such a crude and disrespectful manner by an elected official. My brother is an honorable man who loves his children, family, State and most of all being a Trooper. Mike may get mad at me for writing this but somebody needs to let his feelings be heard here. I have spent many hours on the phone with my brother since all of the harrassment started from the Gov and her family, a family whom once told me Mike was the best thing that ever happened to them. I guess what they meant was, he was the best thing that happened to them as long as he stayed married to Molly. My brother was very proud of becoming an Alaska Trooper and he is very good at it. However, recently Mike has been considering quitting his job with the Troopers because of all the harrassment and complaints against him by the Palin/Heath families. While he has no other job prospects he is still thinking of quitting so the harrassment will stop. I think if that happened the citizens of Alaska would lose a true asset and protector. My brother is a hard working man who loves his children with all his heart. He is the kind of father most men only wish they could be. You should see him with those kids. They love him and he loves them. This is not fair to him or them. I am thankful this story is finally being publicized and the truth may finally become public.

One of my great friends was dealt an unkindly, unfair and un-Christian blow on Friday. I learned of Walt's situation on Friday while I was in the hospital for surgery. This commissioner was the only commissioner I have ever met that truly was in the corner for his employees and the people of the state he served. He was unpretentious and definitely not self-serving. He is the epitomy of what a great leader should be. He reserved comment until all the facts were in and all sides were represented. He put excellent men and women around him to ensure total support first for DPS employees, second the citizens of the State of Alaska and then only if it was right, for politicians. My stock in Governor Sarah just dropped dramatically. It went from a Blue Chip winner to penny stock in a matter of hours as details began unfolding. Divorces are never amicable (regardless of who, what or why they occur) so to pass judgment on Trooper Wooter to me begs the question of why the best DPS Commissioner would be dealt a blow like this.

You stated that it was released to his ex-wife and her attorney. Is there some way to prove receipt by her family? I think that would go a long way towards eroding the substance of her denial. Also, I just heard you on the Fagan show, and he mentioned that Walt Monegan is the key to this and that he needs to speak out. I think his silence speaks volumes.

If you want an honest opinion about Koppo, then go to Kenai and ask people who have lived there a very long time. The entire city government has condoned Kopps type of behavior since they were incorporated. This is not the first scandal, but what will happen if he goes back to Kenai. Nothing will get better in that small little town. As far as what has happened with Wooten, I would suspect he already has a lawsuit on his hands. Personnel issues are confidential, the same as they are in Kenai and what Kopp did there. The people involved are scared enough to be getting counsel today. There are much more serious crimes buried in that small town every year. Mike Wooten, call an employment lawyer, a good one. Then file suit in Federal Court it can only get better for you.

"Palin needed to replace Monegan with someone who would be seen but not heard while doing the governor's bidding." This statement is accurate. Sarah hired herself a "Yes" man as was clearly evedenced at his press meeting while he sweated bullets. His Freduian Muzzle was clearly visible as pointed questions that should have been calmly handled by a strong leader were clumsily sidestepped. Strong leaders require strong advisors and heads of departments to both support solid strategies as well as question and advise the Governor when their plans seem flawed. Great leaders hire great people because they need them, not because they present nice window treatments. Clearly Monegan, who I consider to be a good man of solid character and a real leader with his finger on the pulse of law enforcement, was such a leader she, we, needed. Sarah's immaturity, lack of leadership and shallow policy decisions have started us down a road to certain fiscal and infrastructrual failure.

There are always 2 sides to every story but it is the governor's own fault for this perception due to the way she fired Commissioner Monegan.

It's not different. The good Gov's attitude is a pattern, a pattern of draconian control that old school Chicago politics would be proud of. Shame on all of you, who write in and accuse Mr. Halcro, a guy who makes a good buck owning his own business, of sour grapes, being a shill for big oil, etc. etc. etc. His message has been clear, his facts double checked, and he has not hidden behind some fake curtain to post his findings. Many have worked hard to marginalize those who have voiced concerns about the Sarah, but now, now, we learn the truth. The truth about her crafted message, the truth about how she views the limits of her power, and the truth about the fate of those who have seen past the fake exterior. More voices need to come foreword. Voices of those who worked to get her elected, and have since moved away from her. For 19 months she's asked the questions, now it's our turn.

I wonder if when Judge Suddock judge warned that if any of their actions caused Wooten to lose his job or pay in anyway, Molly and her family would be held liable, that that included Morgan's boss Monegan being fired. If Palin told Commissioner Monegan to fire Wooten because he was giving Troopers a bad name and Monegan said he would do no such thing and then was fired, this sounds like it is exactly what the judge was giving a warning on.

This governor has obviously forgotten that POWER is made up of three things that must always be in balance: Authority, Responsibility AND Accountability. That omits doing what one can get away with just because of their position. Honesty, truth, and a sterling position on all things must be the focus. That way when one makes an'honest human mistake' the general character and record of the individual will cary them through those mistakes. Palins 'record' of spitefulness and misuse of her powers as our governor are much too evident to be brushed aside in any event.The picture is 'clear',,,,what is seen through the looking glass is very ugly. » reply So sickened by Palin's scary, vindictive behavior Submitted by G. McLeod (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-17 13:48. I feel so completely betrayed by Governor Palin. I cheered her crusade against politicians who used the power of their offices to accomplish personal goals. I donated time to help finally get an honest, altruistic politician in office committed solely to doing the right thing-- and ushering in a transparent, honest approach to government. What an uninformed fool I have been. After taking the time to personally read the court transcripts referred to in the article about Monegan's dismissal, I am sickened and deeply offended by the shocking behaviour and vindictiveness that I can only describe as hard core cruelty lacking any Christian values and morals. No matter WHAT the poor trooper ex-husband of Palin's sister did to initiate the divorce, what matters is Palin's reaction and response. Her fanatic (scary) vindictiveness and inability to rise above the situation and take the high road is unhealthy and extremely un-Christian. It also sounds like it should be illegal! She had chosen to relentlessly crucify a public servant, has replaced a wonderful public servant (Monegan) who showed great integrity in REFUSING to fire the trooper, and has replaced Monegan with a man with sleazy reputation who clearly does not value women. These decisions to accommodate her personal vendetta affect ALL of us. It's shocking that she can legally be allowed to do so much damage without consequences. I am truly sickened. My daughter once asked what "valley trash" meant after Ben Stevens made his so publicly tacky comment. I had a tough time answering her, and was ashamed that she had to hear such a term. I tried to explain that it came from "white trash", a term used to describe small minded, cruel people who took pleasure in terrorizing others, wallowing in revengeful behaviour, and taking pleasure in the pain of other people. I told her these people did not know any better, and asked her to pray for them. I'll pray for Governor Palin after I've said my prayers for the victims of her behaviour. Finally, I cannot help but wonder: Why can't the governor be charged with a crime for misuse of color of authority/abuse of the power of the office? Or at least be held personally and civilly liable for the damages she's inflicting in the personal lives of those whose careers she has illegally interfered with? G.
