Many Alaskans have grown increasingly skeptical that the proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipeline is not moving forward because of its escalating cost. Early estimates placed the project near $44 billion; more recent figures — though unofficial — suggest costs approaching $60 billion or more. When projects reach this scale, uncertainty alone can stall even the most ambitious development plans.

I don’t doubt for a minute that Sen. Dan Sullivan is among the many colleagues of Sen. Lisa Murkowski who share her serious “apprehensions” about the terms in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) President Donald Trump signed with Iran last week.

Fireworks cause many to relive horrible war noise and destruction of environments, people and animals. So in keeping Juneau a wonderful place for all beings let’s try to open our hearts and minds to rethink this “tradition.”

The dream has been around for almost 60 years, but no one has been willing to pay full price. So now, the Legislature and the governor are welded together in a political debate over just how much of a discount coupon the state should offer to get the project built.

Elon Musk is the richest person in the world, probably the universe, though it’s always possible some unknown form of life has blasted to stratospheric economic heights in an unknown galaxy — if they even have an atmosphere or stratosphere — and reaped untold personal wealth in whatever currency they may use.

We can insist that Lt. Gov. Dahlstrom rescind her order. And we can ask Petersburg Dan to please bow out of this election.

We appreciate the thoughtful editorial discussion of our proposal regarding the Permanent Fund Dividend. The editorial correctly notes that Alaska needs strong leadership, long-term fiscal planning, and adequate funding for essential public services.

Why the state believes it is unlawful for the Native Village of Eklutna to operate a commercial gambling facility on an Alaska Native Allotment, but the state has not objected to the Tlingit and Haida Central Council doing the same is an incongruent befuddlement.
