So the ADN finally gets the scoop on Cheryl Heinze, several months late. The existence of an FBI investigation certainly raises questions about what else may be lurking in Heinze's file. Regardless, if a legislator doesn't recognize that its inappropriate for her to "hint" that a company with a significant legislative proposal that falls under her influence should give her a "consulting" job ... well, then you've got a real problem.

It's not just Ogan ... it's not just Heinze ... there is an entirely unethical culture in Alaska politics right now, and the Republican leadership is at its heart. It's not even "what's good for business is good for Alaska" anymore - it's "what's good for us is good for us ... and screw you."
