From the transcript
I guess Procedurally, you know, I haven't polled any council members or anything like that, but we do have this thing going on in our backyard with this federal lease. Um, you know, I've made it really clear, like, I support responsible resource development, but our biggest resource, uh, in Norton Sound right now is a proven resource. It's our commercial crab fishery. And, uh, I know there's a lot of other entities that are looking at resolutions, things like that. I'm potentially knowing what I know about this and that there's the potential of leases going into effect right in our backyard that we don't know a lot about.
