but firing him was sure a knee jerk reaction to the situation. Probably ended up with more negative local publicity. ha ha Hope he gets something great.

Thompson was a project supervisor for McKenna Bros. Paving. The company is owned by Matt and Marc McKenna. The party, held at the office manager’s house, was a birthday party for them. On Thursday night last week, Thompson told Good Morning America what he had witnessed at the party. The show aired on Friday morning. An hour later, he was fired from his job for speaking out, he said. Marc McKenna and Todd Paln are Iron Dog racers and are said to be friends. Alaska is an “at will” state, meaning that with few exceptions, an employer can fire an non-union employee for just about anything.



The Palins have a reputation here of being vindictive. I think a lot of people have been burned by them.

It's so sad that the wench has pulled strings to get him fired. Pretty low in my opinion.

My advice: Sell your home and get the hell away from Alaska and the Palins, and start a new.
