Local (Palmer, AK) newspaper bio of Brad Hanson

http://www.frontiersman.com/articles/2008/08/21/local_news/doc48a7d2986b1af352675486.txt
Brad Hanson

“I’ve been doing it for 10 years,” Hanson said of his council service. “I’m interested in the city of Palmer.” Hanson said while he feels the council has made much progress over the past decade, there’s still work to be done.

“There are some things that still need to be done to improve the quality of life here,” Hanson said. Born in Montana, Hanson moved to Alaska at age 2, landing in Glennallen with his family. He moved to Palmer when he was 6 and has lived there for 40 years now.

The offense coordinator for Palmer High School’s football team and head coach of Palmer’s varsity hockey team, Hanson also owns some property from which he makes a living.

Educated at Northern Arizona University and the University of Alaska Anchorage, he holds a bachelor’s degree in finance and also has a master of business administration.

This is the guy with whom Palin reputedly had an affair. Nothing happens for four months and suddenly when the cheating rumor hits, he rushes to court to get his divorce records sealed. Motion denied the next day.

Rumor from Alaska is that this refers to an affair the wife, Debbie, had with one of Palin's advisers. Todd Palin got him fired. Since the order was denied, this will be public soon.

John McCain was a prisoner in Vietnam. So was Gary Glitter, and I'm not voting for him either.

Scott Alan Richter is the "business partner"? What business was he a partner with Todd Palin in? The car wash, the fishing enterprise, or the North Slope oil field on which Todd Palin was a production operator for 20 years? If it's the car wash, could the state's shutting it down have been retaliation in the dispute?

State policy on co-worker relations

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 2008-07-26 11:31.

There is no such state policy. Even if there were, Debbie Richter was not Bitney’s co-worker. He worked in the Governor’s Office in the Capitol Building and she works in the Dept. of Revenue in another office building. This was not a matter of any state policy being breached. This is an incident right out of high school–”You’re seeing my ex-girlfriend and me and my gang will get you.” The Palins decided to go after Bitney because Scott Richter, Todd’s friend and Sarah’s ex-boyfriend asked them to. Richter is also a business partner with the Palins in investment property in the Mat-Su Valley. The Palins and Scott Richter would not let it go after John Bitney was hired by Rep. Harris. Richter wanted him fired from his new job and the Palins tried to apply pressure to make this happen. They underestimated Rep. Harris who is tough and honorable–qualities foreign to the Palins. This tawdry affair should sicken Alaskans who care about their State. We elected an individual with no moral compass, no education, no background, no experience, just a blinding need to be the most popular girl in school. “Cute” can only take you so far then the veneer starts to peel.

UPDATE: I learn from this blog that Scott Richter is a partner in "investment property in the Mat-Su Valley". I wonder just how many businesses the Palins are involved in.

So, it is believed to be about this scandal? We may need to start naming them individually - Troopergate is just one, the firing of the police chief - another and then there's this one...

The original website for this thread is somewhat difficult but not impossible to reach. Wait and try again, is probably the best course of action.

Since noon, I have been able to view that site once, then failed twice. I'll not try again for now, it is just way too busy.

GOV. PALIN AND HUSBAND OWN 5 PROPERTIES -- SOME WITH A FRIEND


The surprise announcement that Sen. John McCain has selected a relative unknown for his vice presidential running mate was apparently timed to take some of the glory off of the acceptance speech Sen. Barack Obama , delivered last evening, Thursday, August 29th, 2008. McCain chose perky Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska as his choice to move into Number One Observatory Circle N.W., in Washington, D.C. The home of Governor Palin and First Gentleman Todd Palin at 1140 W. Parks Highway, in Wasilla Alaska, is bounded by the Alaska Railroad and Lake Lucille. It's about 40 miles north of Anchorage in the Glacier District of Matanuska-Susitna Borough . The residence, in the Snider Inheritance subdivision, is valued at $116,200 for the land, and $435,900 for the improvements, for a total of $552,100. On this, the Palins have paid their property tax of $6,562.26 in full. The Palins also own a couple of apparently undeveloped properties up on Safari Lake . These are owned in partnership with Scott A. Richter, a friend of the first family. The Palins also have an undeveloped stretch up near Trapper Creek. All told, it looks like the Palins control about 37 acres of Alaskan real estate.
This concludes Milwaukeeworld's Vice Presidential candidates real estate watch for 2008.


The address for Richter Investments is the same as the Alaska Inaugural Committee:

PO Box 521591
Big Lake, Alaska 99652


Deborah Marie Richter is also certified as a pilot and uses the same address.


John Woodrow Bitney and Deborah Marie Richter of Juneau applied for a marriage license in August of this year.

http://www.cityofpalmer.org/
now trying to sort out the two men involved here, please help me on this one, Scott Alan Richter who had his divorce papers sealed and Brad Hanson, a councilman at the nearby city of Palmer, the alleged lover well not lover, they never 'did' it, geesh. Why would Richter have the papers sealed?

A photo of the sort-of lover :P



Brad Hanson
(Council Member)


Re-elected October 2005, with current term ending October 2008.

Council Member Hanson was elected by the City of Palmer voters to serve in October of 2002 and re-elected October 2005. His current term ends in October 2008.


Location: 325 E. Dolphin
Palmer, AK 99645

HERE are the Allegations surrounding this developing story:

-The affair apparently happened in the mid 1990's, around the time Palin had just become mayor of the small Alsakan town of Wasilla.

-The man alleged to have had the affair with Sarah Palin was a guy by the name of Brad Hanson.

-Some reports say Brad Hanson is a council member with the Alaskan city of Palmer.

-Brad Hanson was a business partner of Sarah Palin's husband, Todd. Brad Hanson and Todd Palin shared a Anchorage Car Wash venture together.

-Brad Hanson was apparently also married at the time, he divorced his wife not long after.

- According to reports today, this week Brad Hanson filed an emergency motion to have his divorce papers sealed with an Alaskan family court. The motion was... denied.

-According to the National Enquirer, there definitely "was" an affair, but some sources suggest it was pretty tame. Just "reportedly flirtatious.... but (Palin and Brad Hanson) never consummated the relationship."

-In its latest news stand editions, The National Enquirer said: "Todd discovered the affair and quickly dissolved his friendship and business associations with the guy. Many people in Alaska are talking about the rumour and say Todd swept it under the rug."

It's getting more and more fun, isn't it? Sort of like Mayberry RFD, except with corruption, vendettas (other than Floyd the Barber getting mad at Barney), sex, drugs, more corruption and lots and lots of lying (I know Opie lied once, but he admitted it because it bothered his conscience).

Obama can just step back and this will all come pouring out.

John McCain was a prisoner in Vietnam. So was Gary Glitter, and I'm not voting for him either.

My mind just went back a few years, remember the Clinton and Lewinsky scandal? Clinton said they never had "sex" maybe Palin is parsing words so maybe Palin IS playing the role of Monica? Cause Palin and Hanson according to the rumor, never has "sex"! Hey a new nickname for Palin, Sarah 'Monica' Palin !!!
