Another one bites the dust...
I hope the message is being sent out there to lawmakers and the general American public in that no one is above the law, no matter how often one may forget.
For members of the past Bush administration this is a signal...Watch Out...

"The filing late Wednesday alleges Young, a 19-term Republican, illegally received gifts totaling up to nearly $200,000 over 13 years from VECO Corp., Allen's now-defunct oil field services company."

How Big Money and Big Oil corrupt our government, to FAVOR THEM in any deals like DRILLING {and Logging and Hunting}, and to HECK with the Environment, Wildlife, Clean Air & Clean Water, etc.!
Now you see how govt REALLY operates. Under-the-table deals and even "aboveboard" deals, to SCREW ordinary citizens who don't have the Big Bucks to contribute. $1000 set of golf clubs! My, my! Sellout your country and its people and wildlife for some GOLF CLUBS, gift from VECO Oil {who are probably just CALLING THEMSELVES SOMETHING DIFFERENT, now!}.

We must pass and enforce STRICTER, UN-AMBIGUOUS laws, and have MORE OVERSIGHT........in spite of the organized OPPOSITION such laws will face, from the Big Corporations who BENEFIT by their laxity......

Could it be because the ice and snow is melting up north that Alaska's hidden stuff is suddenly appearing!? In the lower 48, the politicians just sweep un-wanted stuff under the rug, and hope no one shakes out the carpets!
Just a thought.
