Just to clarify Troopergate and Librariangate:
The issue is that Palin tried to pressure her ex-brother in law's supervisor to fire him because she and her family have a personal vendetta, AND that she used her power to disclose confidential information from his personnel records.

FYI..."Troopergate" is about the firing of Walt Monegan who was a public safety commissioner in charge of the state troopers. Supposedly Monegan wouldn't fire Palin's ex-brother-in-law and complained that he was getting pressure from Palin (or her administration) to fire the ex-brother-in-law. Palin said she fired him for other reasons, but he insists that he was fired because he wouldn't fire the ex-brother-in-law. Here is a link to the Anchorage Daily News collection of articles regarding the firing of Monegan:
Palin pressured the librarian and sent her a letter telling her she was going to be fired for not pulling certain books that Palin wanted taken out of the library.

What the . . .
First, you don't need to yell.
Second, I was correcting what the original poster said, that Palin tried to ban books.
>>I don’t see where a list of spcific books is relevant.

Exactly.
You are seriously calling someone else on TOS violations?
Thanks, I appreciate it.
<<The letter just said the new mayor felt Emmons didn't fully support her and had to go.">>
Is that legal? Mayors running around firing people
