for firing the Police Chief and the Library Director. Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin fired the city's police chief and the library director without warning Thursday, accusing them of not fully supporting her efforts to govern. Irl Stambaugh and Mary Ellen Emmons said letters signed by Palin were dropped on their desks Thursday afternoon telling them their jobs were over as of Feb. 13 and that they no longer needed to report to work. "Not fully supporting her efforts to govern" seems to have meant, "supporting her opponent, John Stein, in the 1996 election" This led Police Chief Stambaugh to sue for breach of contract. HE lost his case because unless stipulated in the City Charter the Police Chief serves at the behest of the Mayor.
