Ben Stevens, Alaska State Senate President and son of Ted Stevens, the Senator (of the legendary "bridge to nowhere project") who put the secret hold on the transparency bill mentioned earlier this week, had his office raided by the FBI looking for information on ties between him and an Alaska oil company that gives big bucks to campaigns. 

The company in question, VECO Corp., apparently had Ben Stevens on the payroll last year and also give significant donations to his father. Not such a good week on the ethics front for the Stevens family it would appear. More on the possible links between VECO, and the Stevens' here, courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
