Alaska, Oct 11 : A legislative panel has reportedly found that Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin had “abused her power” as Alaska Governor in firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan because of a “family grudge”.
The panel of state lawmakers released its report on Friday after spending more than six hours in a closed-door session reviewing the findings.
