Alaska State Employees to Testify Against Palin

Seven Alaska state employees have agreed to testify in the abuse-of-power probe against Republican vice-presidentital candidate Sarah Palin. The employees previously challenged a subpoena, but since a judge has rejected their claims they will now all willingly testify.
Ms. Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, is the focus of a legislative inquiry into whether she abused her office by firing the public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan. Mr. Monegan says he was dismissed because he would not fire the governor’s former brother-in-law.
Lawmakers subpoenaed seven state employees to testify in the inquiry, but they challenged those subpoenas. A judge rejected that challenge last week. Because of that ruling, the Alaska attorney general, Talis Colberg, says, the employees have decided to testify.
Will be interesting to see how this affects Palin's public image, though I doubt many further details will be released before the US election.

They will testify, and Todd Palin, too, but not necessarily against the Gov.
