Campaigning

When politicians talk about “ownership,” they usually are referring to home ownership and invoking the American dream. But a gubernatorial candidate in Alaska is campaigning on the idea of citizen ownership of the state’s biggest dream: the Alaska gas pipeline.

In a “dear colleague” letter, top Senate Democrats have asked senators to support building a long-line Alaska natural gas pipeline along the “southern” route through Alaska, as well as a production tax credit to spur construction of the line.
