Monegan stated in an interview last Saturday that he believed that if the entire reason he was not fired was because he refused to fire Wooten, it was a significant part of it.<BR/><BR/>2.) Monegan stepped down under the administration of Mayor Mark Begich because he had been considering retiring but Begich needed a commitment for him to stay on through his next term to implement his public safety agenda. When this story broke, Begich put out a statement saying that he didn't want Monegan to leave and in no way was Monegan fired like he was under Palin. <BR/><BR/>3.) Wooten was disciplined by the previous commissioner under the previous administration. Remember these complaints were investigated and adjudicated way before Palin was elected. When Monegan took over the reigns as commissoner he was continuosly pressured to take action against Wooten, which he couldn't because the complaints had already been adjudicated and Wooten punished.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
