Pozonsky's departure from Pennsylvania, difficulties in Alaska[edit]
Although the hearing officer application process period had already closed and qualified applicants had applied, it was reopened solely to accommodate Pozonsky. He also did not meet the qualification requirements, specifically regarding Alaska residency. A cursory background check would have revealed his then-current serious problems as a Pennsylvania judge. He was hired at a salary substantially more than what the hearing officer position called for and at which it had been advertised. He was connected to Fred Dyson, a state senator politically close to the governor, and by family to Dyson's aide, Chuck Kopp, a police chief who had been made Commissioner of Public safety after Sarah Palin removed the incumbent. It quickly became known that Kopp had been admonished on his prior job as Kenai police chief for sexual harassment of an employee and he resigned as Commissioner after two weeks but was given a $10,000 bonus for his brief tenure. If this doesn't meet the definition of Pozonsky's "questionable hire," I don't know what would. In a TV interview in mid-January, 2014, his Pennsylvania attorney as much as admitted that the charges against him there were valid, though he was fighting the legitimacy of the seizure of evidence from Poznosky's judicial chamber. Poznosky resigned his position as hearing officer shortly after the publication of the circumstances of his difficulties in Pennsylvania and the nature of his hire in Alaska. He awaits trial this spring in Pennsylvania on the criminal charges. Activist (talk) 21:58, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That reads like your opinion, not fact. Please review WP:BLP and WP:V.--GrapedApe (talk) 23:02, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please be specific as to what you conclude is "fact" and what you believe is "opinion." If you feel any of those items have not already been covered in the article's references I would be happy to supply additional ones. Please note that this is a TALK page and not the article itself.
