Another Republican Indicted

Beyond Delay:
Ted Stevens (R-AK) is a seventh-term senator, representing Alaska. Sen. Stevens was chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee from 1997 to 2005, except for an 18-month period when the Democrats controlled the Senate. He stepped down from this position in January of 2005 due to Republican six-year term limits on chairmanships. Sen. Stevens sits on the Commerce, Justice, Science, and related Agencies Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee, which oversees the Justice Department’s budget. The Justice Department is investigating whether Sen. Stevens accepted bribes, illegal gratuities or unreported gifts from VECO, an Alaskan oil field engineering firm.
