JUNEAU -- A second state health official has left her job.
Public Health Division Director Bev Wooley's last day was Wednesday. Alaska's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jay Butler, left the Department of Health and Social Services June 22.
Last week Wooley sent an e-mail to her staff saying her departure was "per Governor Palin's request." However, she didn't say if she was given a reason for the governor's displeasure.
Palin spokeswoman Sharon Leighow, however, denied the governor was involved in Wooley's departure and deferred further comment to Commissioner Bill Hogan of the Department of Health and Social Services. Hogan declined to comment through a department spokeswoman.
