What do you expect from someone with the business ethics and track record of Jim Crawford?  Take a short walk through the ADN archives and you'll find snippets of his bankruptcies; swindled ex-employees, customers, vendors, landlords and others who had to sue to claim what was theirs from him (including employees' retirement contributions and squandered escrow money); dubious business deals with people under criminal indictment.  Failed businesses of Mr. Crawford's that bring back the headlines of stories that described the reality and impact of these fizzled ventures:  Century 21 Crawford Real Estate Corp.,  City Mortgage, the Mat-Su Tax cap of 2000, Alaska Republican Party debts, Premier Mortgage, etc.
History doesn't lie.
