The remodeling work in 2000 more than doubled the size of the house, a
four-bedroom structure that is Stevens' official residence in Alaska.

Oil Exec: Workers Remodeled Stevens Home

By DAN JOLING | Associated Press Writer

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -

The former head of an oil field services company admitted Friday that
he had employees work for several months on remodeling the home of
Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens.

Ex-VECO Corp. CEO Bill Allen discussed the work while testifying in
the corruption trial of former state House Speaker Pete Kott.

Allen and former VECO Vice President Rick Smith pleaded guilty in May
to extortion, conspiracy and bribery of legislators.

Under cross-examination by Kott's defense attorney James Wendt, Allen
acknowledged that the more than $400,000 he admitted spending in the
bribery charge was for other legislators -- and for work done at
Stevens' home in Girdwood.
