Quotes about Walt Monegan and the Sarah Palin scandal
Sarah Palin is involved in an ethical scandal involving her ex-brother-in-law Mike Wooten. It is alleged that she fired Walt Monegan because Walt refused to fire Wooten after Wooten broke up with Palin's sister. The whole scandal is still unsubstantiated.

"I had the pleasure of working with Walt on the WSIN Board of Directors for the past couple of years. He is a consummate professional and we will miss him. I don't know what brought this on but Alaska is losing a great leader and member of law enforcement."
- Karl Godsey of Soldotna, AK on Topix

"I'm a supporter of Sarah Palin but this firing doesn't pass the smell test to me. I'm not sure why the governor fired Monegan and I understand that he serves at her pleasure but a few things bother me.
1. Monegan in his position as public safety commissioner was in her "cabinet". If you're going to fire a cabinet member, you should have the fortitude to do it to their face. He served in an honorable manner and she owed him that much. To send her lackey to do it seems cowardly to me.
2. To offer him a position that was subordinate to his old position knowing all along he would never take it makes her look even more disingenuous. I am sure this was a face saving thing for her. It didn't work.
3. Not giving a person a reason when you reject them is blatantly unfair and it makes people not want to serve.
He served his state for something like 35 years. He deserved more. I feel the governor owes us citizens an answer besides, "it was time for a change"."
