THE WINNER OF TOMORROW'S PRIMARY WILL BE ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER AGAINST THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY... |
| 00:02:41 |
|
PRIMARY VOTERS GO TO THE POLLS TUESDAY OF ALASKA AND WYOMING. -- ALL AS GOVERNOR OF 4 RE- ELECTION... |
| 00:03:53 |
|
I SEE ALASKA ON THE CUSP OF GREAT OPPORTUNITY AND GREAT PROGRESS. AS A LIFELONG ALASKAN WHEN I SEE... |
| 00:04:57 |
|
MR. BINKLEY. |
| 00:05:00 |
|
GOOD EVENING, THIS EVENING I AM GOING TO BE ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING AS... |
| 00:06:00 |
|
NOW ON TO THE QUESTIONS. BECAUSE OIL AND GAS ISSUES ARE FRONT AND CENTER, WE WILL START OFF BY FOCUSING... |
| 00:06:32 |
|
OBVIOUSLY SO. IT IS DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THAT IS NEGLIGENT ON THE PART OF THE OIL COMPANY TO HAVE... |
| 00:07:18 |
|
GOVERNOR, LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR THAT IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER THE STATE DROPPED THE BALL... |
| 00:07:32 |
|
THE STATE DID NOT DROP THE BALL. TRADITIONALLY, IT IS FUNCTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FIELD OPERATOR... |
| 00:08:39 |
|
DID WE DROPPED THE BALL AND SHOULD WE BE DOING MORE? RESIDENTS ARE ALL ASKING IF WE SHOULD BE DOING... |
| 00:08:51 |
|
AS AN ALASKA AND I AM OUTRAGED. THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DROPPED THE BALL. THE REGULATORY AGENCIES... |
| 00:09:48 |
|
I HEAR POTENTIAL REBUTTAL. HE WILL HAVE 20 SECONDS. |
| 00:09:52 |
|
OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT IN THE INTEREST OF PRODUCERS TO HAVE THIS SITUATION OCCURRED. AS A CONSEQUENCE,... |
| 00:10:35 |
|
I WANT TO CLARIFY FOR THE GOVERNOR AND IT IS ONE OF THOSE REGULATORY AGENCY IS THAT I WISH I HAD BEEN... |
| 00:11:02 |
|
MR. BINKLEY, WE WILL GIVE YOU THE LAST WORD. |
| 00:11:06 |
|
I KNOW WHAT I WAS GROWING UP, MY GRANDFATHER ALWAYS USED TO TELL ME EXCUSE IS FAILURE. WE CAN MAKE... |
| 00:11:33 |
|
ON TO THE NEXT QUESTION. |
| 00:11:39 |
|
YOU HAVE ACTIVELY SUPPORTED EXCLUSIVELY THE GAS LINE OF ALL OUT THAT GOES THROUGH CANADA TO THE LOWER... |
| 00:12:06 |
|
HEVESI ROUTE IS NOT A CONSIDERATION. IT WAS AT ONE TIME BUT IT WAS ELIMINATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT... |
| 00:13:18 |
|
WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND TO THAT OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO REDIRECT THE QUESTION? |
| 00:13:23 |
|
WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A GAS LINE. WE WILL BUILD UP ON MY WATCH AND WORKING WITH THE LEGISLATORS. ... |
| 00:14:00 |
|
YOU HAVE A MINUTE TO RESPOND TO THOSE QUESTIONS. |
| 00:14:05 |
|
CLEARLY THE ALL ALASKA HIGHWAY ROUTE IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL ROUTE THAT PRODUCES THE MOST RETURN FOR... |
| 00:15:11 |
|
YOU HAVE A REBUTTAL TO A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. |
| 00:15:14 |
|
LET ME EXPANDED MORE. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, THERE ARE FAIR TAKES FROM THE POINT IN CONTACT, WHEN IS... |
| 00:15:51 |
|
I WILL GIVE YOU 30 SECONDS TO REBUT. |
| 00:15:55 |
|
WE NEED TO GET A GAS LINE BILL. NO DELAYS, JUST NEGOTIATIONS FOR A FAIR DEAL FOR ALASKANS TO PARTICIPATE.... |
| 00:16:23 |
|
WHAT IS BEING OVERLOOKED IS MARKETS ARE DEMANDING OUR RESOURCES AND ENTITIES SHOULD BE COMPETING FOR... |
| 00:17:00 |
|
WE WILL START WITH SARAH. HAS BP IS DECISION TO CLOSE MOST OF ITS NORTH SLOPE PRODUCTION AND QUESTIONS... |
| 00:17:14 |
|
IT HAS PERHAPS DAMAGE DID. WE HAVE TO BE EVER MORE BILLS TO LET TOUSE CONVINCE THOSE ACROSS THE NATION... |
| 00:18:08 |
|
YOU HAVE A ONE MINUTE RESPECT -- RESPONSE. |
| 00:18:11 |
|
THE EASTERN SECTION IS BEING SHUT DOWN. IT WILL BE REPLACED WITH SMALLER THREE LINES AND THEN IN ... |
| 00:19:11 |
|
WHAT ABOUT THE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE NORTH SLOPE? |
| 00:19:15 |
|
IT CERTAINLY HAS NOT HELPED OUR CASE. WE HAVE TO HAVE THE HIGHEST STANDARDS POSSIBLE IN THE WORLD ... |
| 00:19:50 |
|
THAT IS KEY IN GOING FORWARD WITH AND MORE. OUR RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING IT RIGHT. IT IS A LEASE THAT... |
| 00:20:21 |
|
WE'VE BEEN TRYING SINCE 1991 TO REOPEN IT AND GET IT THROUGH CONGRESS AGAIN. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL.... |
| 00:20:42 |
|
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THE GOVERNOR CAN DO IS TO RALLY THE COUNTRY. THE GOVERNOR SHOULD... |
| 00:21:21 |
|
DAVE, IT IS A FORM OF INSANITY TO KEEP REPEATING THE SAME ACTIONS IN RESPECT TO DIFFERENT RESULTS.... |
| 00:21:58 |
|
I HAVE LITTLE EXPERIENCE IN THIS AREA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE. IT HAS BECOME A PARTISAN ISSUE.... |
| 00:22:39 |
|
WERE GOING TO GO AND TRY NEXT SEGMENT. WE CAN TALK ABOUT OIL AND GAS ALL NIGHT UNTIL THE COWS COME... |
| 00:23:01 |
|
MONEY, IT IS THE MOTHER'S MILK OF POLITICS, ESPECIALLY POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS. CANDIDATES NEEDED TO REACH... |
| 00:23:21 |
|
I WAS CALLING TO ASK YOU ABOUT -- |
| 00:23:24 |
|
YARD SIGNS. BUMPER STICKERS, OF PAMPHLETS, BROCHURES, AND OTHER STUFF. ALL THIS JUST TO SEND THEM... |
| 00:24:09 |
|
INCUMBENTS HAVE ALL THE NATURALLY ADVANTAGES TO THEM. BESIDES BEING ABLE TO RAISE MONEY YOU'VE GOT... |
| 00:24:29 |
|
ALAN NUMBER-ONE CUT IN HALF THAT YOU MAY GIVE $1,000 OR $500. WHAT YOU MAY GIVE A POLITICAL PARTY... |
| 00:25:24 |
|
GOOD LOBBYISTS COME IN AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT THE STORY IS, WHAT HIS ANSWER IS, AND HOPES... |
| 00:26:01 |
|
WE PROTECT OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH VERY JEALOUSLY IN AMERICA, AND IT IS HOW YOU TURN YOUR WORKLOAD,... |
| 00:26:26 |
|
HIS MAIN CONCERN IS A PROVISION THAT REQUIRES DISCLOSURE OF GIFTS WORTH MORE THAN $1,000 BUT ALLOWS... |
| 00:26:36 |
|
IT LEAVES ROOM FOR PROBLEMS. YOU CAN LOG A LOT OF CASH IN THERE AND SAY THEY WERE 100 DONORS OF LESS... |
| 00:26:52 |
|
SO WHICH IS IT? KEMP AND FINANCE REFORM OR AN ABRIDGMENT OF FREE SPEECH. WE TURN TO THE CANVAS FOR... |
| 00:27:16 |
|
I DO SUPPORT IT. HE IS NOT PERFECT BUT ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO GIVE US BACK TO STATE GOVERNMENT IS GREAT.... |
| 00:27:52 |
|
THERE NEEDS TO BE TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT AND THIS JUST THE OPPOSITE. IT TAKES AWAY THOSE... |
| 00:28:26 |
|
I AM OPPOSED TO IT. THE ANSWER IS CLEAR -- LET US HAVE TOTAL, FULL DISCLOSURE. OF WHERE THE MONEY... |
| 00:29:03 |
|
THE OTHER ITEM ON TODAY'S BALLOT IS A CRUISE SHIP INITIATIVE THAT WOULD IMPOSE $50 ON EACH PASSENGER.... |
| 00:29:17 |
|
IS LAYERS AND LAYERS OF UNNECESSARY BUREAUCRACY THAT WILL HURT ALASKANS. |
| 00:29:23 |
|
IT IS FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD THROUGH THE MESSAGE TO BE REVENUE, CONSUMER PROTECTION, AND PROTECTING... |
| 00:29:31 |
|
IT IS A BALLOT MEASURE TWO AND IT WILL LEVY A $50 TAX ON THESE PEOPLE -- CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS. MORE... |
| 00:29:56 |
|
IT IS DESIGNED TO LEVY AND COLLECT ALL BY THE CRUISE SHIP COMPANIES AND THEN PLACED INTO THE GENERAL... |
| 00:30:07 |
|
IT ALSO SLAPS A 33% TAX ON GAMBLING THAT OCCURS ON CRUISE SHIPS IN ALASKA AND IT TAKES AWAY TAX BREAK... |
| 00:30:20 |
|
IT BRINGS BACK THE STATUS QUO ON THE CRUISE SHIP AND MAKES THEM PAY CORPORATE INCOME TAX ON THEIR... |
| 00:30:36 |
|
IT ALSO SETS OF STRICTER ENVIRONMENTAL RULES TO PAST BELLY TRANSGRESSIONS BY COUPLE OF FELONIES THAT... |
| 00:31:07 |
|
COMPARED TO OIL AND GAS AND SEA WATER PROCESSING, ALL ANY OTHER INDUSTRY THAT IS REQUIRED TO GET A... |
| 00:32:28 |
|
AND THIS PAIN, HE SAYS, WOULD BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE STATE, NOT JUST IN TOWNS WHERE CRUISE SHIPS STOP.... |
| 00:32:33 |
|
MANY TRAVELERS, AFTER THEY FINISH THE CRUISE THEY TRAVEL ONSHORE, BASE, TOURS, AND A LARGE PERCENTAGE... |
| 00:33:00 |
|
SOME ARE DISPUTING THIS TAX. HE SAYS MOST PEOPLE HE'S SPOKEN TO SAY IT WOULD NOT STOP THEM FROM COMING... |
| 00:33:05 |
|
ASK THEM. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PAY $50 AND THEY JUST SORT OF THE -- SORT OF LAUGH BECAUSE THEY'RE... |
| 00:33:26 |
|
SO WHICH IS IT? REFORM OF THE CRUISE SHIP INDUSTRY OR A HUGE HIT TO THE ECONOMY? MR. BINKLEY WILL... |
| 00:33:37 |
|
EVERY INDUSTRY NEEDS TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE AND PAY THEIR WAY IN ALASKA TO SUPPORT THE INFRASTRUCTURE... |
| 00:34:11 |
|
THANK YOU. 30 SECONDS. |
| 00:34:14 |
|
AS GOVERNOR, DO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS. THE VOTERS WILL DECIDE THIS. AS YOU KNOWS IT'S SO EASY... |
| 00:34:50 |
|
IVING DECIDED IT'S A POOR PIECE OF LEGISLATION. IT'S POORLY THOUGHT OUT. IT WOULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT... |
| 00:35:28 |
|
FOR OUR LIGHTNING ROUND WE HAVE A SERIES OF QUESTIONS THAT REQUIRE PROMPT REPLIES. WE HAVE 30 SECONDS... |
| 00:35:39 |
|
OK. GOVERNOR, "WALL STREET JOURNAL" HAD A CRITICAL OF ALASKA PIECE. ESSENTIALLY THE "JOURNAL" SAID,... |
| 00:36:01 |
|
I WOULD REMIND THEM THAT WE'RE THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK. WE'RE STILL TRYING TO DEVELOP A RESOURCE... |
| 00:36:30 |
|
MR. BINKLEY. |
| 00:36:32 |
|
I WOULD SAY, LET US OPEN UP OUR RESOURCES. LET US HELP THE COUNTRY. LET'S DEVELOP. LET'S BRING THAT... |
| 00:37:00 |
|
WHY REMIND THESE FOLKS, REMEMBER WHEN ALASKA BECAME A STATE WE WENT TO THE FED AND WE SAID, LETS US... |
| 00:37:35 |
|
DAVE, YOUR QUESTION. |
| 00:37:36 |
|
TO FOLLOW-UP ON THAT, BUT ANOTHER QUESTION, ENTIRELY, THE STATE IS NOW SET UP TO GET A 50/50 SHARE... |
| 00:37:58 |
|
20 SECONDS I'M ATRADE. |
| 00:37:59 |
|
I CERTAINLY WOULD. IT WAS IN OUR STATEHOOD COMPACT THAT THE 9010, WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR IT. WE NEED... |
| 00:38:15 |
|
ABSOLUTELY. WE NEED TO PUT ALASKANS FIRST. THE FEDS HAVE OBLIGATIONS TO US THERE, THAT 90/10 SPLIT... |
| 00:38:32 |
|
WE MADE A MISTAKE SOME TIME ALING -- AGO HAD WE HONORED THAT. AND ONCE WE ACCEPTED THAT, WE WEAKENED... |
| 00:38:50 |
|
THANK YOU. NOW, FOR A BREATHER. IT'S TIME FOR US TO ALLOW STATIONS TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. WE'LL... |
| 00:39:52 |
|
THANK YOU. I CERTAINLY DID CONTRIBUTE TO TONY KNOLLS CAMPAIGN IN 1998. I ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO AND ... |
| 00:40:20 |
|
ONE MINUTE. |
| 00:40:22 |
|
I THINK LAST MINUTE SMEAR CAMPAIGNS KIND OF REMIND ME AS MY DAYS OF A BASKETBALL PLAYER IN HIGH SCHOOL.... |
| 00:41:06 |
|
GOVERNOR. |
| 00:41:08 |
|
AS FAR AS SARA'S COMMENTS, SHE WAS VERY CRITICAL OF RANDY. HE WAS USING HIS OFFICE FOR INAPPROPRIATE... |
| 00:42:16 |
|
RANDY WAS LEAKING CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE INFORMATION TO GAS COMPANIES. THEN HE TURNED... |
| 00:42:46 |
|
WELL, THAT WAS A MATTER THAT WAS RELEASED BY PEOPLE IN YOUR ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDED THIS -- |
| 00:42:54 |
|
WE ASK ASK SOME OTHER QUESTIONS IF YOU FOLKS LIKE. YOU CAN BRING THIS UP LATER. WE'LL NOW TO TURN... |
| 00:43:02 |
|
THANK YOU. YOU ACCEPTED ABORTION TO ONLY BE ALLOWED TO SAVE THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER. THAT MEANS THAT... |
| 00:43:17 |
|
I KNOW THAT IT'S VERY SENSITIVE AND PERSONAL THESE DECISIONS. I'M ON THE RECORD IN STATING THAT I'M... |
| 00:43:47 |
|
I AM PRO-LIFE AS WELL AND HAVE BEEN. IT IS A DIFFICULT DECISION TO COME TO. COME TO IT THROUGH YOUR... |
| 00:44:11 |
|
AND GOVERNOR MURKOWSKI. ONE MINUTE. |
| 00:44:16 |
|
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN PRE--- PRO-LIFE AND OTHER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE WITH THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER,... |
| 00:44:34 |
|
A 30-SECOND FOLLOW-UP FOR EACH OF YOU. IN A RECENT SURVEY YOU SAID WOULD YOU SUPPORT ABSTINENCE UNTIL... |
| 00:44:53 |
|
I DON'T THINK IT INCLUDES THAT. EXPLICIT MEANS EXPLICIT. I'M PRO-CONTRACEPTION. THINK KIDS SHOULD... |
| 00:45:12 |
|
MR. BINKLEY. THINGS LIKE CONDOMS, ARE THOSE THINGS WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT IN HIGH SCHOOLS? |
| 00:45:18 |
|
I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO TALK ABOUT CONTRACEPTION BUT IT'S ALSO QUAILY IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT... |
| 00:45:38 |
|
AND GOVERNOR, 30 SECONDS. |
| 00:45:41 |
|
WELL, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE TO EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN AND EDUCATE THEM JUST NOT IN THE THE ASSOCIATED PREVENTIVE... |
| 00:46:18 |
|
THANK YOU. AND MICHAEL. WE'RE GOING TO TURN TO YOU. |
| 00:46:22 |
|
CONTINUING ON THE SOCIAL QUESTIONS, THE QUESTION OF MARIJUANA. GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN PUTTING PEOPLE... |
| 00:46:43 |
|
OF COURSE WE'VE BEEN PUTTING PEOPLE IN JAIL FOR MANY OFFENSES FOR 75 YEARS AN THEY STILL DON'T STOP... |
| 00:47:09 |
|
I DON'T CONDONE SMOKING POT. I DON'T WANT KIDS TO THINK THAT IT'S OK TO DO. METH IS A MUCH, MUCH GREATER... |
| 00:47:35 |
|
GOVERNOR. |
| 00:47:38 |
|
MY CONCERN IS WITH THE CHILDREN, THE EXAMPLE THAT'S SET IN THE HOUSEHOLD WHERE THE PARENTS ARE SMOKING... |
| 00:48:13 |
|
I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION, THEN. ALASKA DOESN'T HAVE A DEATH PENALTY. SHOULD IT? |
| 00:48:18 |
|
NO, I'M NOT READY TO GO THE DEATH PENALTY BUT IT'S A TOUGH SET OF FACTS WHEN YOU SEE WE HAD ANOTHER... |
| 00:48:48 |
|
MR. BINKLEY. 30 SECONDS. DEATH PENALTY? |
| 00:48:52 |
|
WELL, AS I STATED EARLIER, I BELIEVE IN THE SANCTITY OF LIFE FROM CONCEPTION UNTIL NATURAL DEATH SO... |
| 00:49:28 |
|
AND MISS PALIN. |
| 00:49:31 |
|
IF OUR LAWMAKERS WOULD CONSIDER SUCH A THING, I THINK IT SHOULD BE FOR HEINOUS CRIMES. THE MURDER... |
| 00:49:47 |
|
VERY WELL. ONTO THE NEXT QUESTION. |
| 00:49:50 |
|
SOMETIMES CHILDREN KILL CHILDREN. AND THIS SPRING HALF A DOZEN SEVENTH GRADE BOYS WERE ARRESTED FOR... |
| 00:50:12 |
|
YES, I THINK IT IS. THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IS A LOT OF THE VIOLENCE IS CONSTANTLY AROUND OUR CHILDREN.... |
| 00:51:15 |
|
THE GOVERNOR CAN -- -- THE GOVERNMENT CAN EFFECT SUCH AN ATMOSPHERE. WE HAVE VERY FEW CONSTITUTIONALLY-MANDATED... |
| 00:52:07 |
|
MR. BINKLEY. |
| 00:52:09 |
|
PARENTAc INVOLVEMENT Ic KEY IN NOT ONLY THE SUCCESS OF EDUCATION BUT IN SETTING THE RIGHT EXAMPLE... |
| 00:52:58 |
|
THANK YOU MR. BINKLEY AND ONTO MICHAEL. |
| 00:53:02 |
|
THIS COMES UP IN EVERY GOVERNOR'S TERM. DO YOU OPPOSE, FAVOR OR OPPOSE THE CAPITOL MOVEMENT? |
| 00:53:09 |
|
WELL, THE VOTERS, OF COURSE, HAVE SPOKEN CLEARLY ON THIS ISSUE THAT JUNEAU IS THE CAPITOL CITY. I'VE... |
| 00:53:50 |
|
KEEP THE STORE ON THE MAP. IN DO DIFFERENCE TO OUR CONSTITUTIONAL FOUNDERS AND THOSE WHO CREATED JUNEAU... |
| 00:54:17 |
|
I THINK WE HAVE OTHER MORE IMPORTANT PRIORITIES TO ADDRESS THAN MOVE THE CAPITAL AND I OPPOSE IT.... |
| 00:54:41 |
|
MORE QUESTIONS. |
| 00:54:44 |
|
FIXED COSTS ARE SOARING FOR THE UNIVERSITY IN K THROUGH 12 SCHOOLS. USING THE UNIVERSITY AS AN EXAMPLE,... |
| 00:55:05 |
|
30 SECONDS. |
| 00:55:07 |
|
JUST HAD AN OPPORTUNITY RECENTLY TO HAVE THE HEAD OF THE UNIVERSITY GIVE A BRIEFING ON THE UNIVERSITY... |
| 00:55:36 |
|
AND GOVERNOR. |
| 00:55:37 |
|
THE UNIVERSITY IS THE ENGINE THAT FIRES UP THE STATE. I'VE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I PROVIDED THE... |
| 00:56:10 |
|
ADEQUATE FUND SOMETHING NECESSARY. SO, THOUGH, IS HOLDING SCHOOLS ACCOUNTABILITY FOR RESULTS. IN... |
| 00:56:42 |
|
NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. OUR FRIENDS ASKED FOLKS IN WESTERN ALASKA TO COME UP WITH... |
| 00:57:02 |
|
I'M ORIGINALLY FROM AT THAT KNEW KNICK, ALASKA. NOW LIVING IN BETHEL. MY QUESTION IS, WILL YOU COMMIT... |
| 00:57:18 |
|
THANK YOU. AND GOVERN, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T HEAR IT. HE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT REINSTATING THE LONGEVITY... |
| 00:57:26 |
|
I WOULD NOT. IT ACCEPTS UP TWO CLASSES OF CITIZENS. THOSE WHO WOULD RECEIVE IT PREVIOUSLY AS IT WAS... |
| 00:57:58 |
|
THANK YOU. MR. BINKLEY. |
| 00:58:01 |
|

THANK YOU. NOW WE'LL GO ON TO THE SECOND QUESTION FROM RURAL ALASKA. |
| 00:59:14 |
|
I'M ORIGINALLY FROM UPA BAY. I'VE LIVED IN BETHEL FOR OVER 20 YEARS. MY QUESTION TO THE CANDIDATES... |
| 00:59:48 |
|
ABSOLUTELY. WE'RE GOING TO RESFOR THE REVENUE SHARING. IT ALSO WILL REDUCE LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES AND... |
| 01:00:28 |
|
WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR IS WE INCREASED REVENUE SHARING TO ABOUT $64 MILLION AND WHEN WE CUT IT OFF... |
| 01:01:04 |
|
I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THE ASSISTANCE AND REVENUE SHARING IT IS I SERVED ON THE CITY COUNCIL IN BETHEL.... |
| 01:01:35 |

| 01:03:26 |

ALL INDUSTRIES MUST CONTRIBUTE, THESE GENTLEMEN ARE CORRECT AND MINING ISN'T OIL AND GAS. WHEN WE'RE... |
| 01:04:04 |
|
NOW YOU WILL HAVE 30 SECONDS TO RESPOND TO THE QUESTIONS AND I'M GOING TO USE MY CHAIR TO ASK YOU... |

|

| 01:09:26 |
|
