The faces of corruption hanging on by their fingernails.
Republican Party Chairman Randy Ruedrich survives a Republican coup attempt by party reformers and Bob Penny replaces Veco.
The first time I met Bob Penny, November 1978, he showed up out of nowhere with the maximum contribution to assist me in retiring my campaign debt and told me how brilliant my campaign had been. He then invited me to a party at his house where I grazed on ice cold shrimp plucked from the first ice sculpture I had ever seen.
The next time I saw Bob Penny he was standing in the hallway in Juneau with his hand out asking me to help fill it with State money.
