On Energy & Oil: Increased oil production key part of energy policy

We make nothing on oil discovered but left in the ground. Access and production are key. We are now working to develop toll roads so exploration can take place 12 months a year rather than just in the winter months. We applaud the recent production activities which have resulted in two consecutive years of increased oil throughput in the pipeline. We also welcome all the new players out in the field working hard to increase production.

On Jobs: Address state economic recovery with jobs program

It is time to put Alaskans back to work, and that's why I have introduced the Alaska Economic Recovery Act. It doesn't take a team of economists to tell us what we already know: that our economy is in recession and Alaska has the highest unemployment in the nation. At the same time, lean capital budgets over the last few years have meant our schools & infrastructure are way overdue for maintenance. Passage of the Economic Recovery Act will provide a needed shot in the arm to the economy and create jobs.
