The
Alaska Dispatch is reporting that the Director of the Alaska Division of Wildlife Conservation was arrested on 12 counts of illegal hunting today.
A former predator control officer for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rossi is a longtime friend of Chuck and Sally Heath, Palin's parents. After Palin took office in 2007, Sally lobbied her daughter to have Rossi named commissioner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The commissioner oversees all wildlife and fisheries management in the state. Sally Heath, in an email to Palin, noted that almost everyone would object to Rossi as unqualified, but added those "are the very same people who said the same thing about you."
So, does this mean those same people were right about Palin too?
Rossi did not get the commissioner's job, but a special job -- assistant commissioner for abundance management -- was created for him within state government. . .
. . . His qualifications have repeatedly been called into question. He lacks a college degree and his prime professional association with wildlife has involved killing rats and foxes in the Aleutian Islands.
