Lobbyists became consultants when Bill Walker contracted with Art Hackney last year to facilitate secret meetings with GCI’s Ron Duncan, AFL-CIO Beltrami, Alice, a couple of bankers, some contractors, native corp leaders, and a select few others in the back rooms of the gov’s office in order to develop, stategize and peddle Walker’s GRAB plan (Governor Robs Alaskans’ Bounty plan) to the legislature and other statewide legislative bodies.

Remember those phantom meetings Hackney billed to the gov's office?

Walker ended up paying Hackney for all those erroneous meetings. How’s that for accountability in Alaska’s highest office?

Alaskans cannot afford Walker’s inept, desperate and out-of-control spending habits. Who will stop him? Anyone? Anyone?
