If you've been following Troopergate although now it would appear Palin has swept it under the rug (no sexist housewife slur intended), then you might be interested in the dusty press release we found from 2006 sent out by Palin about Monegan (the guy she actually fired). Since we can't seem to get a straight answer as to why she "fired" him, at least we can see in her own words, why she "hired" him.
Palin Cabinet Begins to Take Shape
Governor-Elect Announces Commissioners of Natural Resources, Public Safety, Corrections
Anchorage – November 28, 2006 - Governor-Elect Sarah Palin today announced the first three members of her cabinet. Former Anchorage Police Chief Walt Monegan will serve as Department of Public Safety Commissioner, longtime corrections superintendent Joe Schmidt was named Commissioner of the Department of Corrections and former DNR Deputy Commissioner Marty Rutherfor d will take over the top job at the Department of Natur al Resources and will serve as interim Commissioner.
“I’m proud to count these Alaskans among my most trusted advisors,” said Palin. “Each one has a proven track record of success and an unwavering dedication to Alaska.”
