She is also connected with big oil - I'm still researching.
Before you read this, the guy fired was a drunk asshole that did threaten to kill her sister or dad, one of the two. Abuse of power and proper chain of command, or something of the such, is in question - you have to do it correctly or it shows that you will step out of line if "your personal interests and feelings" come into play.

Ethics complaint filed against Gov. Palin
The Associated Press
ANCHORAGE - A former state worker is alleging Gov. Sarah Palin and some staff members used their influence to get a Palin supporter a job in state government.
Andree McLeod filed the ethics complaint Wednesday with the attorney general's office against Palin and members of her staff.
McLeod claims staff members helped Tom Lamal, who once co-hosted a Palin fundraiser, to get a job as a surveyor in Fairbanks.
Palin disagreed with the allegation, saying the state corrected outdated job requirements that prevented a qualified candidate from moving through the hiring process.
McLeod based her complaint on e-mails between government officials. She obtained the documents through a public records request.
McLeod says she has worked for the state at various times for decades, the last time after an appointment by former Gov. Frank Murkowski, whom Palin beat in the GOP primary in 2006.
Palin told the Anchorage Daily News that McLeod also has sought an appointment from her.
