ADN Concurs with RAM: Ramras' Actions Wrong



The Anchorage Daily News weighed in today on RAM's investigation of State Representative Jay Ramras and his substantial investments in BP stock:

What was supposed to have been a day trade turned into a headache for Rep. Jay Ramras last week, when Conservatives 4 Palin blogger Rebecca Mansour took him to task for a $172,000 investment in BP. Ramras, a critic of Palin's Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA), bought the stock in 2008 about a month after voting against awarding the AGIA license to TransCanada, a pipeline company.

[...]

But such investments at the very least create the appearance of a conflict of interest -- and Alaska law requires lawmakers to avoid not just the conflict but the appearance.

[...]

BOTTOM LINE: Public trust trumps the right of Alaska lawmakers to invest as they please.

Read the whole thing.

UPDATE by RAM: The ADN sided with me. And in other news, there was a snow ball fight in Hell today.

Oh, that's not good news for Mr. Ramras when even the ADN sides with us "creepy" folks. ;-)

OMG! Too much information at one time! :D

First the note that Shannyn Moore has had her butt whomped by the FBI (see the entry below), now this.

The wake of Palin's resignation is shaking things and causing a lot of problems for those who went against her.

So much info, so little time...

Maybe they called in their legal staff to see if they are in jeopardy after the Attorney put out his warning?

I think I need 911, I may have a great old cardiac arrest with all this news!! :D

Actually, Latinchic, he called us "creepy, sleazy, shadowy, out-of-staters"

RAM-
Hope I can someday place your autograph and photo prominently displayed along-side Sarah's on our living room wall..

Your investigative reports have been THAT exemplary!

PS:Eddie was great today at Wasilla's Tea Party...(I got it on film)

RAM,

ADN should pay you for doing their work.

Bravo!

I was going to mention this. Regardles of what Our Sarah is doing, don't let up on Ramrass or the othere CBC wannabes.

ranchocon July 5, 2009 3:35 AM  

American Thinker has several supportive articles regarding Our Sarah. They're not a well written as RAM articles but still very nice.

All bow down to our warrior chieftain, RAM!

Like a demon from another "state" Ram strikes the guilty from the shadows.

Climate change in Hell..

RAM,

busted !

Sweet reporting and apparently at least 2 people at ADN can't deny the FACTS>.

manajordan July 5, 2009 9:25 AM  

Mega congrats RAM! It will be fascinating to watch this all play out.

Sweet Uncle Sam!

The events of the last 48 hours have restored my faith of the "the people" being able to fight back to stop our country's full throttle assent into everything our Founding Fathers wrote/fought about.

Congrats- Rebecca (and the rest of the CP4 staff). You deserve all of the good things that are about to come your way. And strength and prayers coming to you to help you fight off the *crap* the opposition will try to sling at you.

Well, Rebecca, as Sarah Palin goes about building her staff, if you are not on it, there ought to be a reasonable explanation as to why.

Nancy July 5, 2009 11:40 AM  

RAM,
I couldn't figure out why there was a flock of pigs out on the lake today!! Put it together with hearing the scum bloggers who spew hate at Governor Palin were spotted shivering in parkas, I knew something had happened!

You are the best, RAM! Keep up the good work!

RAM, are you anywhere near Simi Valley where Sarah will be speaking on Aug 8th? You really must find a way to connect with her or Meg. You are and will be such an asset to her future. Thank you for this site and ALL that you contribute.

RAM,

I'm with Keton, I want an autographed pic! Maybe you could sell them for ten bucks apiece and make some money. You're proving to be one hell of an investigative journalist.
