Republican Meltdown: Stevens on the Hot Seat

Filed under: Corruption | Critical Voices | Republicans — by Bob Zuber @ 10:06 am

Following an earlier post of Will’s, here is the Anchorage Daily News account (written by Lisa Demer) of Stevens’ shady dealings: “The seven-count indictment charges Stevens with making false statements by failing to disclose things of value he received from the Veco Corp., an Alaska-based oil services company, and from its CEO, Bill Allen, over an eight-year period. The indictment charges that those included substantial improvements to Stevens’ home in Girdwood; automobile exchanges in which he received new vehicles that were worth far more than the old ones he exchanged; and household goods.

At the same time, according to the indictment, Stevens received solicitations for official actions from Allen and other Veco employees, and used his office on behalf of Veco.”

Perhaps an honest world will never exist. But what's to keep us from dreaming? If each one of us tries to change, maybe we'll succeed.
