They have a "moral obligation" to look out for the people of Alaska, not the owners of the illegal lease or Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo is selling out due to the declining economy, and have just dumped a liability of the same people who will take it in the shorts for all other sell-0uts of these same legislators. WF is not a moral organization, either: but they have enough brains to see a sinking ship, just like CP who sold their office tower last year.

This is just a continuation of past policies: nobody should be surprised in the slightest.
