Last night the Alaska Dispatch broke a story I was working on about the lavish contracts awarded by the Walker administration to out-of-state consultants for the gas line negotiations. You can read Nat Herz’s story here.
While there are still questions to be asked, Nat did a good job on the story so I won’t bother trying to duplicate his work here.
What I can do, is add some information to the discussion by posting for your viewing the contracts of the two contractors mentioned in the piece, Radoslav Shipoff and Rigdon Boykin, as well as that of AKLNG marketing manager Audie Setters.
