From the transcript
As noted by Northern Economic Study, we're by far the most proportionally affected community on the project and the only community that will be living with this giant active facility in a small town and on our coast for the next half century. We're thrilled. With the right partnership, adequate taxation that amounts to enough, and quality operating entity at the helm, Much like I experienced through my career, new generations will build their lives from the opportunities provided in many diversified careers directly and indirectly through AKLNG. The key to that sentence is adequate taxation, not excessive, but adequate to cover our costs. We do not have our hands out to get rich.
