VECO corruption trial begins

The latest chapter in the ongoing Alaska corruption case began yesterday, with the trial of former Alaska state Rep. Vic Kohring.

Kohring is accused of accepting bribes from VECO Corp., an oil-field services company that was bought in August by CH2M Hill. Although he acknowledges accepting money from former VECO CEO Bill Allen, Kohring says he did so as a friend receiving a gift.

Allen and former company VP Rick Smith have pleaded guilty to bribery charges. Another former state legislator, Pete Kott, was convicted in the case last month.
