What this goes to show is that the Republicans in the house and senate will not pass meaningful ethics rules nor meaningful campaign reform. For decades...since 1990 at least...the Republicans from Jan Faiks, Lisa Murkowski, Lloyd Jones, and many others crushed any chance to make Alaska a place where money could not buy a legislator or an election. Some reps and senators have gone 20 years in a morass of buying and selling of votes and then retired rich. Some vote buying was caught for a few years and a few people went to jail but the enforcers have given up. The bureaucrats who hang on for their own pay and benefits have no meaningful rules or regulations to enforce.
