Murkowski will vote FOR the Tax Reform package if its included.
CNBC: “Murkowski, when asked on Wednesday if she backed the tax-cut plan with a mandate repeal, said she was focused on opening Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil drilling, a key goal for the Alaska lawmaker.
A committee that Murkowski chairs on Wednesday passed a bill to open ANWR to drilling, which is now expected to be attached to the tax legislation.”
Senator Murky is for it... the article didn’t explain it well enough for me.. So in other words.. our Corruptocracy continues to spend, spend,spend and purchase votes for taxpayer cash?

Why would anybody want to drill on the most god-awful forsaken place on the planet when they can just frak where the pipes don’t freeze and you’re not in a marsh 500 miles from a road surrounded by a thousand environmentalists.
I’ve worked in Deadhorse, and it is a stunning example of the American can do attitude overcoming the Americans can’t do political structure. You would get fired there for pouring water bottle on the ground because you’re polluting.
This type of quid pro quo should be illegal.
Vote on each issue on it’s merits alone, not on what they’ll give you for your vote.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
