Boo hoo hoo Murkoski, you're supposed to protect our lands. Citing the history of the oil industry's "safe conduct", not to mention Exxon Valdez thank you very much - and the fact that there are 1.5 oil spills of various amounts unreported to the public in Alaska ... ... everyday, I venture to say that Obama's action to preserve and conserve our priceless nature and land for future generations to enjoy is very responsible and prudent. It's obvious which industry contributes the most to your campaign. By the way, tourism is the 3rd largest industry in Alaska which is clean - and renewable. Thanks for the good news of the day ADN.
