As chairman of the House trans****tation committee, Alaska Congressman
Don Young flew at least three times to upstate New York aboard a sleek
jet owned by Robert Congel, an ambitious shopping mall developer
seeking federal highway dollars." ... "With Young=92s help, Congel got
millions of dollars to boost his dream of building the largest mall in
North America. The veteran Republican congressman got something, too:
more than $33,000 in political donations from Congel, his family and
his associates." ... "For Young, the Congel story was hardly unusual.
Time after time, Young approved millions of dollars for highway
projects for people who in turn fattened his campaign coffers." ...
"With money pouring in from trans****tation interests, Young amassed
$6.5 million in political contributions from 2001 to 2005. Facing weak
political opposition at home, he didn=92t need much for his campaign.
Instead, Young tapped his campaign fund to travel the country, often
lavishly and in cor****ate jets, to meet with more developers and view
their proposed highway projects." ... "Now, though, Young=92s campaign
donations are going for another purpose. He=92s spent nearly $450,000 on
criminal defense lawyers after he learned of an FBI investigation into
his relation****ps with political donors, who include a Florida real
estate developer seeking a highway ramp near his undeveloped land.
