Did she appoint him, or was he already there when she took office? Did somebody else appoint him? Was he elected? The article doesn't state how Fannon came to be police chief. Even if she appointed him, can she be expected to know what decisions he'll make, or be responsible for all the mistakes he makes?

She had the authority to stop it but didn't. She shares some of the guilt in this.

Most of the cities I'm familiar with have some kind of council that makes or approves decisions. I didn't realize that the mayor of Wasilla has carte blanche to dictate policy without the approval of others.
