Walker contracts with Richards as advisor

Gov. Bill Walker said July 22 that the state has contracted with former-Attorney General Craig Richards to provide legal counsel on oil and gas development matters, including the Alaska LNG project.

When the governor announced June 23 that Richards was stepping down as attorney general, he thanked him for his service, and said, “I’m certain the state will continue to benefit from his oil and gas expertise as we push toward completion of a project.”

“We are fortunate to retain an Alaskan with Craig’s talent and legal knowledge to advise us on oil and gas issues,” Walker said July 22. “I’m pleased we are able to continue to draw upon Craig’s expertise.”

The contract, between Richards and the Department of Law, is dated July 19.
