The bipartisan report has been released by the Alaska legislature, and it finds that Governor Palin and her husband Todd violated state law in a campaign to have their former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper.

From the New York Times:

In the report, the independent investigator, Stephen E. Branchflower, a former prosecutor in Anchorage, said that Ms. Palin wrongfully allowed her husband, Todd, to use state resources as part of the effort to have Trooper Wooten dismissed.

The report says she knowingly "permitted Todd Palin to use the governor’s office and the resources of the governor’s office, including access to state employees, to continue to contact subordinate state employees in an effort to find some way to get Trooper Wooten fired."

The Maine media will have first crack at Todd Palin as he campaigns in northern Maine today. Let's see if they take advantage of that.
