Sarah Palin seems to have problems keeping her Department of Public Safety well manned. It appears that after only two weeks in his job, Chuck Kopp, Public Safety Commissioner, Walt Monegan's replacement, has given his resignation.
His resignation came after it was discovered that Kopp was issued a Letter of Reprimand for sexual harrasment in 2005 from his previous employer, the City of Kenai.
Obviously, on the heels of the Monegan scandal and investigation, the media attention in Alaska was tremendous and his resignation after only two weeks in his job may seem like the appropriate thing to do.
However, unlike Monegan, he was given $10,000 for his resignation and in return, he signed a Severance Agreement and Release. The release to any future claims against the State of Alaska and its employees. Now the question is Why? Monegan, after 74 weeks in this position, got nothing and they didn't see the need to have him sign anything even though, in his case, he wasn't accused on doing anything wrong. And oh, by the way, who do you think announced Kopp's resignation? Answer: Todd Palin, co-Governor.
