All the politicals up here are bought and paid for by the oil industry; even them democrats. I remember when Phony Tony wanted to take half the Perm Fund, give it to the oil industry to build a gas pipeline so that then they might develop nat gas in Alaska??????????????? He was our last dem governor before Murkowski. Corruption with big oil is just part of the landscape up here. Actually, I don’t think most Alaskans are too upset with corruption. They accept it and see it for what it is.
