Yesterday, we reported on the indictments of three Alaska state legislators for bribery. We noted that the FBI had been investigating former State Senate President Ben Stevens. Ben is the son of U.S. Senator Ted Stevens. New reports from Alaska today indicate that Ben Stevens was implicated in a guilty plea from an oil company executive.

Federal authorities have not announced any action against former Senate President Ben Stevens, but there is little doubt he is the man referred to in VECO Corporation part-owner and CEO Bill Allen's indictment as "State Senator B." Those documents describe him as a man whose income from VECO vastly eclipses others charged in the corruption case.

The court filing, "the Factual Basis for Plea Against Bill Allen," said "State Senator B," was a senator from 2001 to 2006 and someone who was paid consulting fees by VECO.

It all points to Stevens.

The amount of consulting fees -- $243,000 -- correlates with the amounts in Stevens' financial disclosure filings.

In the court documents, Allen acknowledges that in actuality the payments provided to the senator were in exchange or giving advice, lobbying colleagues, and taking officials acts in matters before the legislature.
