Los Angeles Times | November 3, 2008 | 5:03 p.m. PT --- Palin didn't violate ethics rules in firing, Alaska panel says A report has cleared Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin of ethics violations in the firing of her public safety commissioner. Released today, the report says there is no probable cause to believe Palin or any other state official violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act in connection with the firing. The report was prepared by an independent counsel for the Alaska Personnel Board.

Palin says the firing had nothing to do with the trooper. More soon at: http://link.latimes.com/r/TWOAU6/HQFIZ/PL3JAM/44TM/7OVDG/1G/t
