Editorial A Look at the Past Incredibly unnecessary The battle over the federal budget has caused such a bitter scene in Washington that we should be ashamed of the intransigent ignora- muses that inhabit Congress. There is no excuse for such bitterness and hostility on both sides of the aisle. The vengefulness of the Tea Party social conservatives is poisonous (especially to the Republican party). Members of Congress seem to have no personal working re- lationships or emotional commitments to each other or to the citizens of the entire nation. They want to make cuts that are so painful and so traumatic that it is overwhelming. It is embarrassing to watch these partisan imbeciles declare victory because they postponed the financial showdown for another week. A non-function federal government impacts us all. In Nome we deal with FAA, TSA. Indian Health Service, Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife, National Parks Service, Veter- ans Affairs, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Postal Service, military, and many other federal institutions. We listen to Pub- lic Radio and watch public television while the EPA monitors radiation and the Weather Service forecasts storms. Letʼs not fool ourselves, we have heavy federal involvement, and as US citizens we enjoy the efforts of federal employees and federal funds. The social conserva- tives in Congress tell us we want more government than we are will- ing to pay for, so they will cut us off, yet they are willing to thrust their own social hatreds and biases down our throats. There are tougher times ahead. We have serious issues to face and weʼre going to have to raise the national debt ceiling. We are also going to have to let everyone feel the pain— that means tax those rich, wealthy corporations and billionaires. Let them feel the same pinch the little guy feels. Itʼs hard to understand why politicians feel the wealthy deserve special tax breaks. Our current political scene is unhealthy, but one has to see the humor too. Is there anything so ridiculous as Sarah Palin and Donald Trump as presidential candi- dates? — N.L.M.

McLain Memorial Museum IT’S ALL IN A NAME — This Saami family was one of many who traveled from Norway to Alaska in the late 19th century. Also know as Laplanders, the Saami were an integral part of the discovery of gold on the Seward Peninsula in the late 1890s. Samuel Balto, a Saami, taught the Eskimo people how to manage and handle rein- deer. He was also a gold miner at his claims at Balto Creek on Glacier Creek Road. And, yes, Balto the 1925 Serum Run leader was named after Samuel Balto. Member of: Alaska Newspaper Association, National Newspaper Association P.O.

An Open Letter to All Alaskans from ConocoPhillips Our Commitment to Moving Alaska Forward

Dear Alaskans: The oil industry in Alaska is at a crossroads. The amount of oil in the Trans Alaska Pipeline is declining at a faster rate than projected even a year ago. State and federal officials are, for the first time, talking openly about thehe challenchallengesges with TTAAPS low flow in light of the recent shutut down of TA TAPS. No other state’s production has declined more than Alaska in the past eight years. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The oil industry and the state of Alaska must work together now to put more oil in the pipeline and bridge the more than 10-year gap between now and when oil from offshore and other sources can hopefully refill TATAPS. Governor Parnell has introduced a bill, HB 110/SB 49, to reduce oil taxes in an effort to restart development and create new jobs. However, some have questioned the oil industry’s commitment to Alaska. In Alaska this week, ConocoPhillips reinforced that commitment to the state. If the business environment is changed, we at ConocoPhillips will do more to help bring Alaska’s challenged oil to the market.

We will increase our drilling activity on the North Slope. We will proactively pursue more North Slope projects that can move the needle on oil production while employing Alaskans and creating new opportunities for Alaska businesses.

We will work with BP and ExxonMobil to advance significant projects like Gas Partial Processingocessing (GPP) and IPPAAD at PPrudhoerudho Bay. We will aggressively pursue more satellite developments at both Kuparuk and Alpine.

Our company believes Governor Parnell’s goal of producing 1 million barrels of oil per day is a goal around which we can all unite. At ConocoPhillips, we believe in the potential that Alaska has to offer. We have demonstrated our commitment to the environment by continuing to operate in the cleanest and safest way we can. We have shown a long history of investment, both human and financial, to bring the resources of this great state to the market. We have stood with many Alaska companies, including Alaska Native corporations, to build an oil and gas industry that has provided many jobs to Alaskans.

If the Legislature provides for an effective date of 2012, ConocoPhillips will do our part to accelerate new activity on the North Slope.

Alaska has tremendous resource potential, and we at ConocoPhillips have over 50 years in Alaska in solving technical and environmental challenges associated with oil development. We support improving the investment climate and believe changing oil taxes will lead to a better future with more production and jobs for Alaska families than the current path we are on. Sincerely,

Trond-Erik Johansen Jim Mulva
