Fuglvog's fate will wait a bit longer

Arne Fuglvog won't be sentenced until after the holidays.

Fuglvog, you'll recall, is the former fisheries aide to U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

He pled guilty in August to a federal fisheries violation, and was to be sentenced on Dec. 7.

Fuglvog, through his attorney, last week asked to delay sentencing, and Judge H. Russel Holland has reset the matter for 8 a.m. Feb. 7.

A plea agreement calls for Fuglvog to draw 10 months in prison.

And to cheat in these cases is national origin, related to a certain painted up pretty, stinky political subdivisions.

Like that Fish Cabinet, starring Arne, Lisa, and Coconut Grove Highwayman Don, love those special earmarks, and the special exemptions to the Magnusen Stevens Act, for S01A.

UFA supported Arne the whole way. What a crock of BS! One of the many reasons why I shred the UFA application, when it arrives in the mail. Plus, they supported Frank "I want my own jet airplane" Murkowski in his bid for a second term. What a bunch of losers!

Anonymous said...

No one will ever know just how much money Arne gave up to help Alaskan-and US fishermen. And women. And their families.

He worked his ass off for us.

I'd back him again.

He made a mistake.

He did 99 great things helping us commercial fishermen. He gave up millions to go back to DC

He's my friend and always will be.

Bs on all of the followups

I never called on Arne in DC save for one 15 minute visit in the Hart cafeteria with my wife and kids on a family trip to visit Ted

Crusades?

You are calling a true friend of mine- and I may have made a crysade when I defended Ted Don Frank Ben et.al on the bullshit witchhunt that the Bushies instigated on behalf of the Bass brothers or whomever but they were exceptional public servants(Don still is) who worked on behalf of All Alaskans-
Arne is different because we have been friends since I can
remember and he also worked his ass off for All Alaskans

Crusade?

Yeah does that make all you cowardly anonymous mofo Arne haters someone worth crusading against

Were you right on Ted boys-fuck no- but you kicked him out for a guy who just Loves longliners

And he was innocent

And so was Don

And so was Ben

Arne rocked in DC

Ask anyone who has the cahoneys to post here who actually has worked for fishermen like I have instead of just armchairing your bullshit hate stuff against Ted Arne Lisa Frank and those others who put us on the map

David Bedford

Heard his name on this blog

Ever met tge man

Never been a harder working public servant

Radio silence is not my forte, pard.

And it's not about the money

It's about doing the right thing for commercial fishermen

My point was about the economic sacrifice Arne made

BTW
What's up with you lame SOBs who voted Arne in twice A's UFA man of the year

You can't rebut the filthy sewer spewing crap that these braindead losers are saying about Arne

Shame on you
Your silence will doom the efforts of good people like Arne

Kids- go get your fish- don't be a loser and accept public service as a route to help your fishing community or state

The rest of the bullshit NMFS case will come out

I'll bet that Arne was not even on the boat when some of the alleged BS was going on

Radio silence will come either when you anonymous chickenshits quit picking on good people or when the anonymous chickenshits who are good people pick up their pad and defend those who worked so hard for them so I do nt have to

Hey Bobbie, if Arne is this do good
public servant then why does he
posses this secret brown envelope.
An envelope that is so compelling
as proof of his knowledge of illegal doings in Alaskas's politics, that
a federal judge is willing to except as proof of crimes.Was Arne just looking
out for Alaskan's and holding this information to protect us, or maybe
this was business as usual in his world.
A truly honest public servant would
not possess such an envelope.

But let us suppose, that in this our ship of state, the pilot is drunk, the most of his associates are asleep, or after large and unreasonable tippling together, they regard their eminent danger in approaching a rock with idle and negligent jollity; the ship in the mean season instead of following her right course, that might serve for the best advantage of the owners' profit, is ready rather to split herself. What should then a master's mate, or some other under officer do, who is vigilant and careful to perform his duty? Shall it be thought sufficient for him to pinch or punch them who are asleep, without daring in the meantime to put his helping hand to preserve the vessel which runs on a course to destruction, lest he should be thought to intermeddle with that which he has no authority nor warrant to do? What mad discretion, nay, rather notorious impiety were this? Seeing then that tyranny, as Plato says, "is a drunken frenzy or frantic drunkenness," if the prince endeavour to ruin the commonwealth, and the principal officers concur with him in his bad purposes, or at the least are lulled in a dull and drowsy dream of security, and the people (being indeed the true and absolute owner and lord of the state) be, through the pernicious negligence and fraudulent connivency of those officers, brought to the very brim of danger and destruction, and that there be, notwithstanding, amongst those unworthy ministers of state, some one who does studiously observe the deceitful and dangerous encroachments of tyranny, and from his soul detests it, what opposition do we suppose best befits such a one to make against it? Shall he consent himself to admonish his associates of their duty, who to their utmost ability endeavour the contrary? Besides, that such an advertisement is commonly accompanied with too much danger, and the condition of the times considered, the very soliciting of reformation will be held as a capital crime: so that in so doing he may be not unfitly resembled to one, who, being in the midst of a desert, environed with thieves, should neglect all means of defence, and after he had cast away his arms, in an eloquent and learned discourse commend justice, and extol the worth and dignity of the laws. This would be truly according to the proverb, "To run mad with reason." What then? Shall he be dull and deaf to the groans and cries of the people? Shall he stand still and be silent when he sees the thieves enter? Shall he only hold his hands in his bosom, and with a demure countenance, idly bewail the miserable condition of the times? If the laws worthily condemn a soldier, who, for fear of the enemies, counterfeits sickness, because in so doing he expresses both disloyalty and treachery, what punishment can we invent sufficient for him, who either maliciously or basely betrays those whose protection and defence he has absolutely undertaken and sworn? Nay, rather than let such a one cheerfully call one and command the mariners to the performance of their duty: let him carefully and constantly take order that the commonwealth be not endamaged, and if need so require, even in despite of the king, preserve the kingdom, without which the kingly title were idle and frivolous, and if by no other means it can be affected, let him take the king and bind him hand and foot, that so he may be more conveniently cured of his frenzy and madness...

One of the last things that Fuglvog did was strip the commercial fishing industry on the Yukon from the Disaster Funding. This is the fourth time that Disaster Funding went to the politically connected, in contravention of the law, to benefit his political handlers.

In the lastest case of Yukon Disaster funding Fuglvog made sure that the Native Groups got control of the funds and the commercial fishing industry was robbed of badly needed funding to get his boss the votes from the bush, which without which Murkowski might not have been elected.

Fuglvog helped some fishermen (his friends), and never really helped ALL the fishing industry.

When you ask an east coast fishermen why they did not back Fuglvog for the head of NMFS, their answer is simple.

They view all fishing industry operatives from Alaska as "dirty".

If they can figure out the truth from the east coast, the Fuglvogs, of the world are only kidding themselves when they hold themselves up as saints of the fishing industry.

The only industry that supports Fuglvog, Thostenson, and Murkowski, et al, are those handful that have gotten rich, which cozying up to these people.

The rest of our industry has more integrity than to be bought off.

Since the first cave man facebooked with petroglyphs folks have signed their John Hancock to their writings

Now, after 1000'd of years the I'm-posters have decided to be anonymous

Well sirs, madams, Chinese, Alaskans, Martians, pedophiles or whatever your anonymity makes you-- your words are meaningless

Mankind can read and even enjoy this anonymous crap and rantings but they are adrift, meaningless and without context unless you sign your John Hancock

There has always been a pattern here though

Ted Don Arne, whomever gets accused

The first dozen or so posts are about how we see all corrupt bastards etc

Then occasionally, I say something positive about the victim of the day

Then I get stomped by the Chinese American anonymous pedophiles who won't acknowledge their transmission of thoughts and ideas. And I think they must not believe or have any pride of ownership of those thoughts and ideas

Bought the Pam in 1988 after running her since 1983

Paid 320,000 for the boat skiff permit

It was a decent deal

Could have bought it for less in 2005

Not a gift- I fished for or paid payments to my grandmother for 14 years before I owned the boat outright

Why am I answering an anonymous pedophile???

If my dad got me a boat it wouldn't have been a wood boat

He told me I was a loser for buying a wood slab

Anyhoo - I don't need to defend myself- anyone who saw how great a man my dad and grandpa Magnus were has no issue understanding that I could make a living being 1/10th the men they were. And I don't dispute that.

Not to mention that they both put their money where their mouths and hearts were- in Petersburg- and along with their better halves- invested in the industry on their kids behalf

Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent. Selected from the rest of mankind, their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed in the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions..."

bashers don't post their name because bobbyt has threaten them with retribution if he knew who they were in past postings, not too hard to figure out. With bobbyt's contacts in ADFG through lobbying & UFA, making a well-placed phone call to CFAB or any one to exact his revenge is not to hard to accomplish.

As far as the F/V Pamela Rae, there is the funny coincidence of how it caught fire after his buddy Zuanich insured it and it needed to be rebuilt, wooden boat and all that.

If bobbyt was happy with being paid only 1/3 of what he was owed in Kake (and I have heard he wasn't, he was threatening to file suit against the city but didn't have a case), then that means SEAS is overpaying him by 2/3 for the work he does for them. In fact, that means all his clients are overpaying him by 2/3rds (or 67%).

Alright, I read through all of this and do find it sad people use "Anonymous" to attack an individual they claim to know via actions they don't agree with or may misconstrue.

I have known BobbyT all of my life and he is a good person who is highly motivated and extremely intelligent, plus a damn good salmon fisherman. He comes from a strong family who helped many people in the commercial fishing industry especially those of us in Petersburg. He has benefitted from his family's success, so what... his family worked damn hard to get there.

Now I don't always agree with his politics nor care for some of his associates, but that doesn't make him the person "Anonymous" makes him out to be. All of my dealings and discussions with Bobby have been open, honest, and straightforward. At least he has the cojones to come on this blog and express his views, whether you agree with him or not, and sign his name.

I was never an Icicle shareholder either but my parents and grandparents were substantial shareholders and fishermen who fished for Icicle for many years, and thanks to all of the hardwork and sacrifice of the fishermen shareholders, employees, and management, that success was shared amongst them all. Silver Bay has taken a similar approach, and look at where they are at today... BobbbyT's family found a recipe for success and shared it with those who helped them in their success. I see BobbyT as trying to do the same, may be mistaken or misunderstood from time to time, but at least he is trying. He's not sitting in front of the computer bitching about what someone should or shouldn't be doing. Anonymou(s) can't even put their real name(s) down, in fear of some retaliation, BobbyT doesn't control the fishing universe, so let it go, and he is a bigger man than that anyways.

I ask "Anonymou(s)" to take a lot of the degrading remarks out and address grievances directly to BobbyT, hell he even lists his cell number for people to call him with questions, concerns, or issues.

Here is a truly funny post Jason Miller, BobbyT supporter wrote on his 2006 blog, where he also supports Alaska Report:

" I am truly appalled at the way our politcial regime has sold out our natural resources to the lower 48 and mutlinational conglomerates who exploit those resources and take the true wealth with them down south and oversees. We have especially seen this in the American Fisheries Act, Crab Rationalization, potentially Groundfish Rationalization, Halibut and Sablefish IFQ's, Oil, and minerals. I would love to see Alaskan businesses and residents benefit from these Alaskan resources not out of state and out of country public resource privatization schemes that create the new robber barrons of this century, and leaving Alaskans and our communities opportunities out of the equation."

I have a clue for you Jason: BobbyT is the lobbyist for the Alaska Crab Coalition and one the proponents of crab ratz, his buddy Trevor McCabe (who helped push through the SE seine buyback with Ben Stevens at the behest of Bobby T & Rob Zuanich) was a key lobbyist for the American Fisheries Act, and pretty much left out the communities.

Sure glad you signed your name, it's too bad you don't know what you are signing onto in terms of support given your belief system.

Jason Miller said...

Anonymous,

Like my above post states "I have known BobbyT all of my life... and I don't always agree with his politics nor care for some of his associates" I can say without a shadow of a doubt he has always been fair, honest, and straightforward with me, If you want to know his opinion and what he's doing, just ask, its no a secret.

Did you see me supporting the buyback or his lobbying efforts, NO!!! I simply stated he's doing his best for what he feels is the direction the seafood industry needs to go. I would say the same thing you posted from me with the same conviction BobbyT has for his opinion.

So next time share your name and maybe I could read your opinion with context. I guess its better just to copy and paste other peoples words and argue a non issue as you obviously missed the whole point. I was simply stating get behind your words and sign your name, quit attacking personally, maybe just maybe attack policy, opinions, but there is no need to be derogatory towards someone.

The 2nd Choice!

http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/08-1521.ZC1.html

What were the “Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States”? That question was answered perhaps most famously by Justice Bushrod Washington sitting as Circuit Justice in Corfield v. Coryell , 6 F. Cas. 546, 551–552 (No. 3,230) (CC ED Pa. 1825). In that case, a Pennsylvania citizen claimed that a New Jersey law prohibiting nonresidents from harvesting oysters from the State’s waters violated Article IV, §2 because it deprived him, as an out-of-state citizen, of a right New Jersey availed to its own citizens. Id. , at 550. Justice Washington rejected that argument, refusing to “accede to the proposition” that Article IV, §2 entitled “citizens of the several states . . . to participate in all the rights which belong exclusively to the citizens of any other particular state.” Id. , at 552 (emphasis added). In his view, Article IV, §2 did not guarantee equal access to all public benefits a State might choose to make available to its citizens. See id., at 552. Instead, it applied only to those rights “which are, in their nature, fundamental ; which belong, of right, to the citizens of all free governments.” Id. , at 551 (emphasis added). Other courts generally agreed with this principle. See, e.g. , Abbott v. Bayley , 23 Mass. 89, 92–93 (1827) (noting that the “privileges and immunities” of citizens in the several States protected by Article IV, §2 are “qualified and not absolute” because they do not grant a traveling citizen the right of “suffrage or of eligibility to office” in the State to which he travels).

"The court noted that Grunert I
made clear that the Limited Entry Act restricts eligibility for
permits to natural persons who are economically dependent on and
actively participating in fishing...
Although the lack of an active participation
requirement was the flaw on which we focused the most attention
in Grunert I, we expressed concern with other aspects of the
cooperative regime as well. For example, we expressed concern
with the reduced number of crew members necessary under the cooperative regime.
We noted that the cooperative regulation may interfere with the ability of the Commercial Fisheries Entry
Commission (CFEC) to determine the optimum number of permits
because the regulation destroys any relation between the number
of permits issued per fishery and the ultimate number of
participating vessels and units of gear. And we criticized the
corporate-like nature of the cooperative regime: the cooperative
regulation . . . transforms the limited entry permit from what
used to be a personal gear license into a mere ownership share in
a cooperative organization...

VOTE IMBECILE! SEAS, CFEC, and the UFA too!

"We have previously stated that AS 16.43.150(g) was
intended to allow fishermen to take advantage of the value of
their permits if they no longer wish to participate in the fishery, but to prevent the forced loss of livelihood that would result from court-ordered sales of permits. The emergency
regulation did not require permit holders to put up their permits
as security. Although there was the possibility of criminal
sanctions if a permit holder fished in another fishery, permit holders always retained ownership of their permits. The emergency regulation did not require illegal pledging of permits..."

The illegal pledge, at the NMFS, what a classic!

There is a legitimate tension between pledging SE permits as collateral for the Federal buy-back loan.

State law makes this pledge illegal, and I suspect the only method of curing this tension is to challenge the Alaskan only" pledge of collateral to CFAB as being unconstitutional, opening the doors for financing of permits by all Americans, not just Alaskans.

Be careful what yo wish for.

Anonymous... now that is a great point regarding the financing of state permits, I'm sure banking interests outside of the State and CFAB would like to participate in that type of scenario.

spring creek, spring creek i say. not some comfy minimum security resort in a warm place. how the hell is he gonna learn from his mistake if you dont make him pay for it?

if you put all the criminals like arne and bill allen in resorts pretty soon everybody will want to do what they did.

Jason Miller said...

Most "people" from Petersburg are not trouble makers, we are highly motivated, opinionated, educated, and hardworking.

A few "people" are polarized on a political stage as they voice their opinion, act on it, and implement it, making progress and mistakes along the way. Whether intentional or not is up to that person's interpretation, but one thing is certain they are trying as they utilize the foundation and example set for them by the hardworking Norwegian fishing heritage Petersburg exemplifies.

Yeah, but right now to admit that I'm Norwegian and Alaskan makes me feel embarrassed to say the least! More people need to tell these fatheads to shut up and sit down. Ignorant liars are never in style.

Like Arne trying to get his wg fish in yakutat... Hahaha

Jason Miller said...

Why be embarrassed, its a great heritage, regardless of some mistakes made by individuals who share that same heritage. I'm a proud Petersburg Norwegian, if people want to pigeon hole me, fine, when I have the opportunity to express my view, they'll know I have my own opinion, and its not the lemming mentality either.

That's why I don't understand the constant attack on BobbyT personally, there are a lot of valid points made by anonymou(s) (plural) without the personal attacks. I for one would weigh the opinion more objectively if I knew the source and their experience.

That's why I respect BobbyT immensely as he stands behind what he says and does, whether its good, bad, or indifferent. He fights for his family, business, and friends with no regrets, whether you, or I like the direction he goes.

Just my 2 cents.

J,
Doing "good" IS respectable, doing "indifferent" is acceptable, doing "bad" is deplorable. Recognize the differences. Drop the rings, let'm go.

I don't know about being part of the

unethical that Jim Balsiger, a member

Regional Director is married to a
Lobbyist that represents the big

down. I don't see how he can be
impartial when HER pay and bonuses
are based on HIS decisions.

Thanks for your comments, Jason. I totally support Bobby T. as well as Arni. In this climate, it is not easy to keep up on all the regulations in commercial fishing in AK. We need a lawyer with new rules and closures.

Bt, don't make your self out to be more stupid than you are already. Arne was caught on over a hundred violation, and bargained down to just one. Arne made millions in DC, for fishery related issues ie. Crab rationalization. Arne is a confessed criminal, why would anyone try to defend on x100 violations, purely and intent to disregaurd the laws.
X100 bt, wake up! Andrea Stuart (u.s.prosecutor), can verify the counts and violations. Lisa has obviously helping delay, and pressure for plea bargain. 1 misdemeanor count,
OMG.

Fisherman - ya they all made a mishap here and there..... most have...you wanna come out and admit your guilt?
Petersburg is a wonderful place with wonderful people...and Arne is one of those GREAT people that have DONE right for so many alaskans!!!!

WOW, is there really that many stupid ignorant, mental morons living up there? Glad I got out! I know many of you are simply isolated, but seriously? Let me enlighten you about how the legal system works in this country. Just because you "plead guilty" to a crime, doesn't mean that you did it. The idea of spending a million dollars on a defense would financially crush most people! So even if you win the fight you still lose the war. I find it highly suspect that the feds didn't even start an investigation until Arne applied for the head of NMFS job. This smells like a typical political witch hunt, as well as some idiot disgruntled crew members who happen to be nothing but a bunch of cry babies, combined with a certain NMFS agent who is trying to further his career. It sounds like there is a lot of jealousy seeping out of the cracks of the angry, uneducated mob! To all of you "P-town" people, don't take it personally, having lived there, you know that all of the haters really are just jealous of all of us! It's been that way for years!

Hey Kristian, are you really so dumb to believe that Arne made a simple mistake? Trust me, he knew exactly what he was doing was illegal. The rules and regs are becoming more and more challenging, but if you have a high school education you can navigate your way through the bureaucracy. Get a clue bud, you're out of your element!
Hey Jason, have you ever done anything that wasn't heavily financed by your parents or grand parents? Oh that's right, you sued the city of JNU for ~$750,000 for breaking your ankle when walking down the ramp to your daddy's boat. ( Heard you were HAMMERED ) So in a sense you're just like the guys you defend on these blogs; something for nothing! Quit your sniveling!!
