On the surface the allegations against Alaskan Senator Stevens do not look to good. It is pretty amazing how Stevens, former chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, could be so STUPID & GREEDY to have allowed any contractor to be hired through these means.
From Fox News --
Stevens is not the only lawmaker with questionable ties to VECO. Sen. Lisa Murkowski & Rep. Don Young also have freindly ties with VECO.
FBI and Internal Revenue Service agents searched the home of U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens on Monday.
According to reports, in the last six years, Stevens has received more than $119,000, including $20,000 from VECO's former CEO Bill Allen. Stevens and Allen also are longtime friends and partners in a race horse investment.
Allen is also involved in a house-remodeling project Stevens undertook in 2000 and for which previously acknowledged that authorities warned him to preserve records. He told the Anchorage two weeks ago that he paid for all the renovations himself. More...
Murkowski having bought land at a price described as a "steal." Young was given $57,000 from VECO political-action committee and its' employees over the last 10 years.
