Quote from bigdavediode:
You're wrong. She fired the librarian and due to pressure from the community was forced to withdraw the termination letter the next day. You can see the email (since verified) from Anne Kilkenny verifying this.

Your turn. Show me your links to primary source material regarding this case which supports your statements.
Actually your link works for me. And this link from the Anchorage Daily News:
http://www.adn.com/sarah-palin/story/515512.html
Four days before the exchange at the City Council, Emmons got a letter from Palin asking for her resignation. Similar letters went to police chief Irl Stambaugh, public works director Jack Felton and finance director Duane Dvorak. John Cooper, a fifth director, resigned after Palin eliminated his job overseeing the city museum.
Palin told the Daily News back then the letters were just a test of loyalty as she took on the mayor's job, which she'd won from three-term mayor John Stein in a hard-fought election. Stein had hired many of the department heads. Both Emmons and Stambaugh had publicly supported him against Palin.
Notice the article states that Emmons got a letter "asking for her resignation". In other words, she didn't get a letter firing her. As the paragraph below says, the letter was a "loyalty" type of letter inasmuch as the librarian had supported her opponent in the election. She also sent a similar letter to several other department heads.
Importantly, Emmons wasn't fired. The letter was not a "termination letter" as you state. It's important to have everyone's side of the story.
By the way, Kilkenny is a Democrat, so I suspect we get a story with a certain spin to it.
