Rep. Don Young raised a grand total of $54,000 for legal defense fund

Probably a good thing for Rep. Don Young that he can use his campaign funds to pay his legal bills.  His legal defense fund hasn't proven all that lucrative:

The majority of the $54,000 Young received in the fund came from fishing and construction companies based in Alaska or the state of Washington.

Former Rep. Billy Evans (D-Ga.) and his wife, Renetta, wrote a $2,000 check, as did William Corbus, the former state revenue commissioner under then-Gov. Frank Murkowski (R).

The companies that gave include: Trident Seafoods Corporation, Seattle-based Aleutian Spray Fisheries, as well as one of its subsidiaries, Starbound, LLCBering Pacific Services Company, Boyer Towing Inc., Cruz Construction Inc., Osborne Construction Company and Tatonduk Outfitters Limited.
