ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state's public safety commissioner.

The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn't the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor.

The Republican vice presidential nominee has been accused of firing a commissioner to settle a family dispute. Palin supporters have called the investigation politically motivated.

Monegan says he was dismissed as retribution for resisting pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor's sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute.

If I remember right... wasn't this legislative comitee abusing their power by investigating this?

Since that job belonged to a totally different council and it was just obvious they were breaking the law to try and "get" her. I don't like the women either... but this councils findings aren't suprising and shouldn't be noted.

Palin has a lot of enemies in Alaska and they pulled an illegal investigation to make stuff up. Funny since it just means they're going to have to put up with her longer when McCain loses.

No. The Alaska State Personnel Board probe was the one Todd and Sarah said they'd cooperate with. This is the probe - the Legis one -  that was panned as political, despite the fact GOPers outnumbered the Dems big time. The ASPB probe is loaded with her people - and of course, she'd much rather cooperate with that probe than the one she, nor her husband, testified in. The State Personnel Board probe is the fake one - the Branchflower report is the real report.
