Palin testifies to investigator in ethics dispute
2008-10-24
ST. LOUIS - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is testifying behind closed doors about allegations she abused her powers during a personnel controversy that has distracted from her Republican vice presidential bid. Palin arrived at a Missouri hotel Friday afternoon to meet with an investigator from the Alaska Personnel Board. The board is investigating whether Palin acted improperly by firing her public safety commissioner. The commissioner says he was dismissed for refusing to fire Palin's former brother-in-law, a state trooper. An Alaska legislative investigation concluded Palin acted unethically by trying to get her brother-in-law fired but fired the public safety commissioner lawfully. Palin's lawyer says the governor is eager to tell her side of the story.
