This is a huge mistake for Alaska.
 1) The big lie that Alaska needs the revenues: this is being pushed for tax cuts for the wealthy. The failed Healthcare episode was a "prequel " to lower taxes on the "1%" from 39% to 35%. They now need ANWR revenues to offset deficit spending, which for record, Republicans have never really cared about.
2) Now that Republicans have a renewed appetite for Federal Revenues they will be looking at lowering Alaska's benefit from NPRA, which we really need to help connect to super valuable State acreage that ANWR doesn't have.
3) This continues the Trump Administration's direction to lower hunting access throughout the West, which further demonstrates their unabashed ability to openly screw their base supporters.
4) Demonstrates our Congressional Reps ability to chase dog whistles at the expense of Alaska. Obama already opened the routes we need to build infrastructure to rich State leases.
