JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Investigators plan to issue subpoenas in a probe of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of the state public safety commissioner, officials said Friday.
State Sen. Hollis French, a Democrat who is managing the Legislature's investigation into the firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan, said investigators decided not to subpoena Palin. French said the decision was intended to cool off a growing standoff between the Legislature and Palin, the Republican nominee for U.S. vice president, the Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News reported.
