Troopergate 2?
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- There was more friction Monday between the Alaska State Troopers and the governor's office.

Gov. Sarah Palin is already embattled over her decision to fire Walt Monegan, her former public safety commissioner. Now the troopers union has new questions about contract negotiations.

The union says if it doesn't get answers they may file suit.

1. Palin is No Breath of Fresh Air
You are right, when all is said and done, I suspect the governor's (Palin) office will have to answer to more charges of abuse of power. I was going to mention it the other night when I listened to the phone conversation between Frank Bailey and state trooper Cyr regarding troopergate. I think most people were listening to the portion of the conversation regarding Wooten, perhaps many didn't pay much attention to the discussion regarding the Public Safety Employees Association negotiations. Being a long time union member, I will tell you that this is a clear violation of federal law for Gov. Palin and/or her staff to request such information, and Mr. Bailey and Gov. Palin know it. Palin is nothing more than your typical corrupt republican.
