I am all for catching the corrupt politicians but I think the RNC should be pitching in and helping to pay for all the new prisons we have to build to house the GOP inmate population. Alaska State Rep. Anderson arrested for "public corruption" December 8th, 2006 Updated 9:02 am AKST Juneau, Alaska - The FBI has arrested state Republican Rep. Tom Anderson on "public corruption" charges relating to the raids of state lawmakers offices last August. Anderson's wife is Republican state lawmaker Lesil McGuire. ADN.com is reporting that Anderson is still in custody this morning. The targets of the FBI investigation, Alaska State Senate President Ben Stevens and staffers at oil company VECO, have not been arrested as of 1:30am on Friday morning. The Department of Justice will release the federal charging documents today, according to FBI spokesman Eric Gonzalez. Gonzalez said there was a federal warrant for Anderson's arrest "in connection with a public corruption probe." Anderson was elected to the state House four years ago yet still kept his consulting business as an adviser for clients including VECO. In August, 2006 the FBI raided several legislative offices including the office of U.S. Senator Ted Stevens in Girdwood. Offices of Anchorage Senators Ben Stevens and John Cowdery and Nome Senator Donny Olson were all searched, as were offices of Reps. Pete Kott, R-Eagle River, Vic Koehring, R-Wasilla and Bruce Weyrauch, R-Juneau. House Minority Leader Ethan Berkowitz suspected corruption during a debate over an oil tax in Juneau. "This is our floor. Our floor. No telephone calls are supposed to change what we're doing. No lobbyist is supposed to peer over the railing and tell us to change our mind. Never should happen." Tom Anderson and Ben Stevens have been criticized in the past for taking consulting contracts from oil-related firms, including VECO Corp., without disclosing exactly what they do according in a report from KTUU.com. Repeated phone calls and e-mails from AlaskaReport for comment were not returned. alaskareport.com
