Ben Stevens: Oil Driller, Not FishermanEarlier this week we flagged news that Ben Stevens — son of Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK), former president of the Alaska Senate, and currently under investigation — returned to work on a “vessel” to raise money for his mounting legal fees. It looked like he was back to his old career on a crab fishing boat in the Bering Sea.
Not so. The Anchorage Daily News reports today that in fact he took a job as a crewman “aboard a work boat supporting Dutch oil giant Shell’s planned Arctic Ocean exploratory drilling campaign.” It’s not clear when he’ll be coming back to land and his troubles.
