He was contacted 24 times by Palin, her husband and her staff to fire her brother in law. She made all sorts of claims to the official and they were investigated but no evidence was found against the brother in law she was trying to get fired!!
This is a link to a thorough TPM Muckracker story:

Prior to flying to Ohio to be introduced as Rethug VP selection, "She was busy denying allegations that she fired the popular and beloved Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan because he refused to dismiss Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten, her ex-brother-in-law of questionable character, and currently embroiled in a nasty custody battle with her younger sister. She said neither she nor any staff or family member pressured him to axe Wooten. But Monegan said she, her husband, and staff members did. Hmmmm. Investigation by the Legislature? Very likely."
Palin is a piece of work. If anyone knows how to post a video link please do so......Thanks!
