Remember how much $$ Begich had the taxpayers of Anchorage pony up when Karen Brand (vice president of the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce and a former staff person with the state Legislature) shot retired Public Safety Commissioner Glenn Godfrey and his wife.

Two of the state's "finest" had an illicit affair that went south and taxpayers are on the hook to pay off family and clean up the mess? 

...or when the Anchorage firefighter claimed lung cancer from breathing toxic smoke on one occasion  (homeless burning electrical wire outdoors) in spite of the fact he was furnished breathing apparatus and the Begich Administration caved and turned his lung cancer into an OJI.  

Unbelievable!
