Veco employees testified today in the trial of Senator Ted Stevens that they spent hundreds of hours working on his Girdwood home. A bookkeeper with the company also testified that she was instructed not to keep a paper-trail on expenses in Girdwood. The government is building its case in federal court that Senator Stevens took hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts – including the house renovation – and didn’t report them on his Senate Financial Disclosure forms.
