Note to Sen. Stevens; if you happen to be a Senator, or any sort of politician for that matter, don’t let an oil company pay to refurbish your vacation home. It just doesn’t look very good.
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 compmany, and from its CEO, Bill Allen, over an eight-year period.
The indictment charges that among the undeclared items were substantial improvements to Stevens’s home in Girdwood, Alaska; automobile exchanges in which he received new vehicles that were worth far more than the old ones he exchganged; and household goods, including a Viking gas grill.
At the same time, according to the indictment, Stevens received solicitations for official actions from Allen and and other Veco employees, and used his office on behalf of Veco.
Stevens is 85….maybe he can claim to be all old and senile. I mean, McCain’s an old confused fart and Stevens is 14 years older than him.
