Jim Clark (Alaska)

Jim Clark (Alaska)

Jim Clark served as Chief of Staff to the Governor of Alaska during the administration of former Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski. During his final hour in office, Governor Murkowski appointed Clark as a member of the Board of Directors of the Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority. Three days later, Gov. Sarah Palin removed Clark and replaced him with his predecessor on the Board, saying that Clark did not reflect her thinking on the state's gas pipeline policies.

On March 4, 2008, Clark pleaded guilty to one felony conspiracy charge involving the Alaska political corruption probe. Clark admitted in court documents that he conspired to use an illegal monetary gift from Veco Corp to pay for a political poll to gauge the popularity of then-incumbent governor Murkowski. Sentencing was delayed to allow him to testify against other suspects in the case. [http://www.adn.com/front/story/334149.html]
