We have the best scenery, best Hunting, best fishing, best skiing, and least intrusive government of all the states. We would have the best economy too, if the rest of the country would let us develop our resources. But as long as Alaska remains a nature preserve and playground for the benefit for the rest of the states (less than one percent of the land here is in private hands) Let them pay for the upkeep and development.
Far too many people here have chosen to openly display their ignorance about Alaska.
