Kick backs are not only monetary in Bush Alaska. I remember when Don Young’s son-in-law was given an important job with a federally funded organization up my way in the Norton Sound. To this day, I cannot recall any one great thing he did for his efforts. I guess it was a step up for his career. Too much of this is going on yet.

Hmmm, I wonder if this is somehow tied to QwittyPantz qwitting?

Allen has connections all over AK, and since the specifically quoted info in the blurb was about ‘gifts’ not reported….gotta wonder if there’s a tie-in.

It will also be interesting to find out what muck Don Young is responsible for via the Native Corporations contracting that is being looked at. Kickbacks anyone………..

Also, too. I hope Scarah gets busted for her own bribery attempt. Send Scarah to the slammer too.

and hmmmmm…….might Dung finally be investigated by an ethics committee? Yes, please please please!

“There is no House ethics committee investigation of Young, but it’s unclear whether a preliminary inquiry is under way.

An investigation, which is publicly announced, is conducted by an investigative subcommittee that interviews witnesses, issues subpoenas, and obtains records. A preliminary inquiry, run by the chairman and ranking member, is a review to determine whether an investigation should be started.

In past cases, the House ethics committee conducted full investigations of lawmakers when allegations were raised about the accuracy of their financial disclosure reporting. A current investigation of House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., is looking at his disclosure reports.

The committee on numerous occasions investigated violations of the strict congressional gift limits.”

Fortunately, the replacement has to be elected in an actual election. At this point I would hope that she couldn’t get elected again for anything in this state…

It just seems like since SP got vetted (laugh) for the VP position, the doors are more open to the crimes that have occurred in Alaska. She made people want to look deeper into what was going on there. Here day is just around the corner. She will one day have to answer to her crimes. Just have to be patient.

I also, see SP has a Cult Leader. Everytime I see her name, the things she is doing, the isolation of her home, the building of what people see as another home; I see Jim Jones-the Jonestown, Guyana-religious nut. Her deliberate antics reminds me of him.

Lee @17 – I may never again look at Ragu in the same fashion. Maybe I should start making my lasagna with Newman’s Bombalini.
