Why is the governor taking financial advice from his former Attorney General in the first place?

Why not take advice from folks with financial expertise instead of his law partner?

Craig Richards seemed to be the Governor's main man on the whole repurposing on use of the Permanent Fund, now this.  I find it baffling that the governor could have so much confidence in one man rather than reaching out to experts in the financial field, including some he has on staff.

Perhaps someone can tell me what I'm missing.
