Walker's shadow government and your PFD; The Brena effect

I normally do not publish donors who give to political campaigns. I usually stick to total donations when it comes to unions, and special interests groups. I respect everyone's vote even though I may not agree with your politics. I believe in democracy, and may the best man or best woman win. However, in Alaska that isn’t always the case.

Money talks, and it isn’t just pay-to-play. It is much darker than even I had suspected. Walker’s shadow government, and his desperation for a pipe dream should give all Alaskans pause.   Brena is a trusted friend of Bill Walker, and he has spent a pretty penny getting him elected Governor.

Robin Brena is also the guy who bought Bill Walker, and former Attorney General Craig Richard's law firm for a $1.00 (Sarcasm, you gotta point that out when you're being sarcastic these days). Bill Walker, Craig Richards, and Robin Brena have spent their legal careers suing Alaska's oil producers which should concern all Alaskans.   Now it turns out Brena dropped $223,300 over the past four years into political campaigns and special interest groups.  $223,300 is a huge chunk of change to get the governor and legislature you want.

I haven't figured out if the agenda is for Governor Walker and Craig Richards to default on Prudhoe Bay leases for a pipe dream (which requires taking your PFD), or to keep the legal billable hours thriving on the backs of Alaskans.    Governor Bill Walker has made millions in legal fees pushing for a pipe dream.  Check out Walker's  2014 APOC financial disclosure report. 

Elections have consequences people, and your PFD is not for sale.

Let Brena's APOC report speak for itself. You be the judge. Here is the link to his APOC report https://goo.gl/K0nH0s
