text: PFD fraud is extremely difficult to detect. When a good case comes along it should be pursued by the district attorney's office and if there is a conviction the sentence should be widely publicized. It should serve as a deterrent to those who might be tempted to break the law.
  A very good case might be the one against the Governor's friend, Roland Maw from Kenai, who was indicted on 12 felony counts of perjury stemming from several years of PFD fraud. But the problem is that he had not yet been brought to trial. After almost a year since charges were first brought. Why is that?  Is the prosecution being told to hold off? Does the fact that Maw contributed and held fundraising events for the Governor in Kenai have anything to do with this lack of prosecution? While applying for a PFD, Maw was receiving non resident hunting and fishing privileges in Montana. For which he was prosecuted and found guilty, by the way. So how is it that he can scare away  from Alaska charges?
