meet US Senator Lisa Murkowski, R-AK, from today's Anchorage Daily News,
http://www.adn.com/news/politics/fbi/story/9164940p-9081424c.htmlA government watchdog group filed an ethics complaint Wednesday against U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, charging that her 2006 purchase of an exclusive Kenai riverfront lot was a “sweetheart deal” from Anchorage businessman Bob Penney.
The complaint, brought by Ken Boehm, chairman of the conservative-leaning National Law and Policy Center of Falls Church, Va., also charged that Murkowski filed false information about the land deal on her annual financial disclosure and obtained special treatment on a mortgage from the Ketchikan bank where her sister serves as a director.
Murkowski spokesman Kevin Sweeney said the senator would have no comment Wednesday. Penney said from his summer home on the Kenai River outside Soldotna that he wouldn’t comment, either.

The mortgage for the property is yet another issue, Boehm said. Murkowski and Martell took out a loan for 80 percent of the purchase — $136,561 — from First Bank in Ketchikan. The Murkowski family has long been associated with that bank. Lisa once sat on the board, and her sister, Eileen Van Whye, is a shareholder and director.
Bold lettering mine, and much, much more at the link. The National Law & Policy Center is pretty conservative, and Chairman Ken Boehm is an ex-aide to a Republican congressman. Their website is www.nlpc.org
