Ben Stevens’ Legal SeasSometimes it’s worth reading all the way to the very end of a long feature. A story recapping the Alaska political corruption scandal in this weekend’s Seattle Times certainly was.
Wrapping up where all the key players stand, the story ends noting that former state Senate President Ben Stevens, son of Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK), has returned to his old line of work as a fisherman to cover mounting legal bills:
Ben Stevens is back in private life and faces legal expenses. To make money, he has returned to the sea to work. As of last week, he was on a vessel.
Looks like Stevens’ consulting fees — $775,000 from various seafood companies and $240,000 from Veco — are drying up.
