The ledgions of Ted Stevens are like most other myths: mostly based on fantasy over reality.   I remember Ted Stevens claim to fame was his ability to bring millions in pork funding for hundreds of projects that kept him in office.  The actual long term value of many of Ted's special funding is questionable at best.  Many of those projects are now defunct,  still requiring federal dollars and, in a few case are bleeding our state coffers.  Budget shortfall in Juneau includes funding some of those projects today.  

Meanwhile Don Young rallies to the State rights advocates in support of marijuana law.  While he has no time to actively testify for insignificant issues such as investigating possible Russian meddling in our national elections.  I'm not sure  where Don voted on the easing of laws to allow a person with mental illness to purchase firearms. But I'm pretty sure he seen no problem with allowing these persons unrestricted access to firearms.
