It's about freaking time they goe after this corrupt POS. He's been indicted because of concealing more than a quarter million dollars of renovation that was done to his private residence by a "oil contractor" whom was given contracts in Alaska.
This guy and Orrin Hatch are two of the most corrupt SOB's in our govt.. any shady legislation that gets past typically has involved these two guys. It will be a good day for this country when both these guys are out of office. Both of these guys are the exact reason why we need term limits on all high ranking political offices in this country.

The Justice Department accused Stevens of accepting expensive work on his home in Girdwood, Alaska, a ski resort town outside Anchorage, from oil services contractor VECO Corp. and its executives. VECO normally builds oil processing equipment and pipelines, but its employees helped do the work on Stevens' home.
Prosecutors said that work included a new first floor, garage, wraparound deck, plumbing and electrical wiring. He also is accused of accepting from VECO a Viking gas grill, furniture and tools, and of failing to report swapping an old Ford for a new Land Rover to be driven by one of his children.
From May 1999 to August 2007, prosecutors said, the senator concealed "his continuing receipt of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of things of value from a private corporation.""
