From the transcript
But I'm just wondering, just in terms of other people coming from other parts of Alaska, I don't know, is it just as easy to get on a plane and go to Fairbanks as it would be to go to Bethel, you know. And so that I wouldn't want it to create any added expense to the people to actually— well, that would be overly expensive to get there. I, I do think it's worth, uh, going to that community in particular, um, to have the meeting. So, but I just wouldn't want it to impact others too adversely. So.
