CASHING IN. . .WHILE ALASKANS PAY THE PRICE.

If we preclude Alaskans from being able to harvest Chinook, that means we’re precluding them from harvesting just about everything during the summer.

I support oil and gas development. Alaska needs energy, and we have a wealth of resources that could be developed. However, the unintended consequences of this bill are too significant to allow it to pass.

As D.C. price hikes create an energy catastrophe for Alaskans, we can’t afford more delays, political gridlock, or one-size-fits-all rules from the Lower 48 that leave Alaskans without solutions.
