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.

Palin’s supporters have, meanwhile, rebutted the panel’s finding, saying it was “politically motivated” as elections were approaching.
