Look how fast the dirty money finds a new taker in Knowles.

With Binkly and Murkowski out of the race, VECO owner Bill Allen needs a new horse to back and it appears to be Tony Knowles.

A few of Bill Allen's closest friends have switched over to back a democrat. Unfortunate for Bill Allen, and unfortunate for Tony Knowles as well, just before the FBI raid, one of Bill's closest associates sent out an invitation for a fund raiser and invited a lot of friends of Ben Stevens, Carl Marrs and Bill Allen, to a fund-raiser for Tony Knowles. See below the invitation to a fund raiser for Tony Knowles at the home of Carl Marrs.

So who is Carl Marrs?

Carl Marrs is the former president and chief executive of Cook Inlet Region Inc. (CIRI)

CIRI is one of the companies to which the FBI went, seeking information about VECO and their inappropriate association with certain legislators. (click here to read the story)http://www.adn.com/news/government/veco/story/8149379p-8041116c.html

Carl Marrs is a business partner with Bill Allen in a company they co-own with other partners who were also served with warrants and searched.

While Carl Marrs was president of CIRI, when CIRI paid Ben Stevens $270,000 in "consulting fees."

Carl Marrs and VECO Owner Bill Allen have a well established track-record of backing the same candidates VECO backs.
