If you are a Lisa Murkowski fan, what are you doing on Freerepublic. This is a conservative site. Lisa Murkowski is no conservative, and I daresay neither are you.

Oh, you wanted the goods. Try this on for size, pop:

“In July 2007, Murkowski stated she would sell back land she bought from Anchorage businessman Bob Penney, a day after a Washington watchdog group filed a Senate ethics complaint against her, alleging that Penney sold the property well below market value. The Anchorage Daily News noted, “The transaction amounted to an illegal gift worth between $70,000 and $170,000, depending on how the property was valued, according to the complaint by the National Legal and Policy Center.” According to the Associated Press, Murkowski bought the land from two developers tied to the Ted Stevens probe.

In 2008, Murkowski amended her Senate financial disclosures for 2004 through 2006, adding income of $60,000 per year from the sale of a property in 2003, and more than $40,000 a year from the sale of her “Alaska Pasta Company” in 2005.”

The links are in the Wiki piece. Look it up. You live there (allegedly). Don’t you read your own papers?

I am aware of these issues and what court of law brought charges against her?
