I am sure you love him.AK-SEN: Former Fairbanks mayor says Miller "not truthful" on past employment Whitaker said Miller’s actions violated the Fairbanks North Star Borough’s ethics policy but did not result in a termination because the borough needed Miller to continue working on its lawsuit about how much to tax the trans-Alaska pipeline system. Miller eventually resigned from borough employment on Sept. 1, 2009. “I also felt it was appropriate to give Mr. Miller enough time to come forward himself,” Whitaker said. “It’s clear with his statements of the other day, he’s not going to do that. Referring to the truth as innuendo and lies is not truthful.” They say they can only do so with a release from Miller. Miller says they have to release him from attorney-client privilege (which the borough denies is necessary) and so he won't authorize the release until he gets that from them. That's the stalemate that's existed since June, until Whitaker finally decided enough was enough.In case you're curious about what did end Miller's employment with the borough, it was a reportedly a dispute over time off. The staff had a large workload, and two attorneys were out--one because of her pregnancy and one recovering from a heart attack. Miller's request for leave to go elk hunting was denied, and he listed that as a factor in his resignation.
