Thread Name: BS: Alaska gov. Palin and banned books
Subject: RE: BS: Alaska gov. Palin and banned books
"Actually, Palin initially requested Emmons' resignation in October 1996, four days before the public discussion of censorship. That was at the same time she requested that all four of Wasilla's department heads resign."

Also goes on to say: "...she rehired Emmons the next day, and Emmons remained at her job for two-and-a-half more years.

All smoke and no fire here. A Democrat operative named Anne Kilkenny came up with this as an attempt to damage Sarah Palin. There is no list since the discussions with the librarian were oral (two or three such discussions) and framed as "hypothetical", as "what if someone asked you to remove...".

Even suggesting that Sarah Palin went to the library to have these exchanges may be wrong, since the various department heads, such as police chief, have regular meetings with the mayor as part of official government business, both policy and planning sessions. I think this would qualify as a policy discussion.
