Opinion: Governor’s early Christmas spirit is misplaced
According to Governor Mike Dunleavy, "it's like Christmas every morning" due to the expansion of oil drilling, mining, and road building in Alaska.
"I told the president, it’s like Christmas every morning... I wake up, I go to look at what’s under the proverbial Christmas tree to see what’s happening. And here’s another example of more presents for not just Alaska, but for this country,"
The governor's statement was made at a staged event in Washington, D.C., where the Department of Interior secretary signed off on federal approvals for these projects.
However, the author argues that this perspective on Christmas is misplaced, as it prioritizes resource development over people.
Author's summary: Governor Dunleavy's Christmas analogy is misguided.
