Frankie and the file (edited)

You claim to telling the truth but you haven't got all the facts straight. Bishop and Palin are NOT members of the same union. That statement is very misleading. A.H., I cannot believe that I actually voted for you. You really need to come off the high horse and accept defeat. At least if you did that you might have a fighting chance when the next election rolls around. Conspiracies do not lie around every corner.

...My information says they were. I will double check and if it is not true I will edit the post immediately. AH

LOL...ya just another bullshit line to cover up the obvious crap that is going on. I'm completely pissed off with whats going on. I cant wait for the investigation to be up and running and finalized.

If the Legislative Special Investigator needs help finding the smoking gun, we certainly know where to send him for help.

Sarah Palin grabbed it from her "Personal Enemies" file cabinet, handed it to Todd, Todd handed it to Ivy, Ivy handed it to Bailey, and Bailey did the same thing with it that everyone else in Sarah's goon squad did... He used it to slander Wooten in an attempt to get him fired... It's just Bailey didn't realize that he was being recorded... Odd that out of more than twenty phone calls that Palin is admitting were made by her or members of her staff related to Wooten, that the ONLY one that her own "internal" investigation has found that "might have been perceived as pressure" was the one that just happened to be recorded... What are the odds???

Let me make one thing clear: that is Andrew's theory of how the file came to Admin, not mine.

I can think of several ways that file could have come to Admin and this is only one of them. The easiest way would be to have someone in HR get it for you; they have access to it and probably wouldn't ask someone in the Commissioner's Office why they wanted it. Time was they would have, but not likely these days.

Someone in LR might be able to get it the same way, but I doubt it. I know that a few times when I tried to get one, I was refused. It also wouldn't be that hard to get someone friendly to you to just go over and copy it surreptitiously if they knew what they were looking for. Surreptitious files float around, but you can't use them, at least not directly, since you aren't suposed to have them, a fact apparently lost on Bailey.

Putting my old labor relations hat back on, if I really wanted that file, here's how I'd have gotten it. I'd have charged Wooten with faking his injury and inappropriately using Trooper Injury Leave. We do know that there is a picture of him snowmachining while purportedly injured, that's cause enough. I'd just have him directed to have a fitness for duty exam from a Doctor of the State's choosing and I could be pretty sure that Doc would find what I wanted him to. Then he'd have had to pony up all the stuff, including his WC file, to defend himself against that charge. A little heavy handed perhaps, but that's how I do business, and it would be perfectly legal.

Thanks Art. I thought it was clear that it was my theory and didn't mean to attribute it to you in any way. AH 

I feel sorry for the underlings who were forced to give access to the files. From personal experience, the employee either just does what they are asked to do, or the supervisors will make your job so miserable that you end up quitting. My only hope for those poor people is that they didn't know what was going on, and just pulled the file for a supervisor who had been requested to get the information, and then that supervisor passed it on up the chain.

One small correction...Worker's Comp is exempt from HIPAA. There are other privacy regulations, and additional burden's for public employers that will come into play. However, HIPAA is not one of them. Worker's Comp records and files are specifically excluded from that set of regulations for obvioius reasons (how would an employer evaluate the costs for a work related injury if they weren't allowed access to the medical information?). But Chance is correct that the WC files are at the Department of Labor and no-way no-how should the Boards & Comm. Chair be viewing them. The files are to only be considered and viewed by those with a need to know (individuals making employment decisions related to the injury). Unless Bailey was planning on appointing Wooten to a Board and believed his injury would not allow him to complete his Board duties...he should not have seen those files. Makes you wonder what else he saw...

Lucy....somobody's got some splaining to do.....

Andrew, Frank Bailey has a close relative that work for Labor . . . This is more than likely the source of Wooten's Work Comp file.

Good Point! Also, how did they get into his exwifes hands Molly McCain when she went to court?SK

Bailey isn't telling a partial truth? Could it be that the files of Palin's enemies ARE kept "over in Administration"?

First the $1200, then early PFD payments, then a fluffy, no-substance-amount-to-nothing LNG press conference, then a mention of Prop 4.....Anything and everything to divert attention until her speaking engagement at the GOP convention. Do the GOP have an adult in the house? It sounds to me like the GOP is using the same brain-trust to screen their speakers as Palin used to screen Chuck ("I-am-not-a-sex-harrasser") Kopp. And yes, one more thing- you and I are still paying Mr. Bailey and the clock keeps spinning (no pun intended).

You really need to be looking at Kreitzer for the answers. You know more than anybody she is no friend of the Troopers or any LEO in this state. Kreitzer is like the Commandant of a Stalag where she gets her way everyday. Here are some questions to ask her if you feel the urge. Why are you fighting EVERY negative Arbitrator award? Why are you allowed to go against binding arbitration? What gives you the right to spend the states money tying up these decisions? Kreitzer is a loose cannon that needs to be muzzled, can you help??

and a good question for krietzer and kevin brooks at admin - is what are you doing, giving this situation, to assure that 30 some thousand other individuals do not have their privacy violated? Thanks for you hard work!

Did the confidential file come directly from Click Bishop to Frye and Bailey or through Annette Kreitzer to Frye and Bailey? Either is probable since Bishop is a thick-headed fool who knows nothing about state government processes or personnel rules and Kreitzer is one of Queen Sarah's loyal attack dogs. Did this exchange take place while Frye was Kreitzer's Special assistant (she swapped jobs with Bailey when she proved too incompetent to handle the Boards and Commissions position. Kreitzer later moved her back to the Gov's office after Frye verbally accosted Rep. Kevin Meyer on some legislative matter. What a gang of nit-wits!

I love this part of so called story ,“Here is one theory that seems to make sense.” If only real journalist could use such latitude when writing story. This blog reads like a poorly written UFO encounter in a bad conspiracy magazine.

...The difference Zman is that this blog has already proved that there is no intelligent life responsibile for this scandal. AH
