Sen. Giessel

OPINION: Alaskans are delighted to provide the Capitol Christmas Tree, and would be even more delighted if we had access to our lands and resources to provide for ourselves and the nation's economy.

OPINION: As our financial issues continue, Alaskans have to ask themselves a fundamental question about the role of government, and how we want to pay for it.

OPINION: The regulations proposed to apply to Arctic offshore exploration drilling are redundant, overly prescriptive and excessive, and may in fact increase safety and environmental risks.

OPINION: As women who serve in the Legislature and who voted for the bill that created Alaska's new oil tax policy, we want to lend a unique perspective on why we voted to pass Senate Bill 21 and why we will vote NO on 1 this August.
