Boulder-Springs (ANS) With the season's first heavy snow upon us, the Journal is closely monitoring Damien Holdings with regard to a story we ran last October about hotel kickbacks.  The State Attorney's office is also interested in the Damien Grade policy requiring employees of Damien Holdings and BeriCraft Aviation to book hotel rooms at their own expense to ensure that they are on time for work.

A major question around this tough policy is speculation that Damien Holdings receives a kickback in the form of a percentage of each room booked by an employee complying with the policy.  We'll have more news as we follow the incoming snow.
