As An Exciting Year Of Unpredictable Change Begins, We, Too, Have Our Work Cut Out For Us. And We're All In This Together. Just Like Our Musk Ox, They Circle Up To Protect Their Future When They Are Challenged. We've Got To Do The Same.

And Alaska - We're Set Up, Unlike Other States In The Union, Where It's Collectively Alaskans Own The Resources. So We Share In The Wealth When The Development Of These Resources Occurs.
