From the transcript
I think Machiki was hitting on the responsibility, him formerly as a senator, myself formerly as a representative, that we understand that it's our responsibility as elected officials and you guys specifically as representatives that we look out for the best interests of all of our communities and that the resources that we have to deliver, whether they're to market or to our residents, are equally shared by us all. So I come with that spirit of understanding, and it's not anything new as far as the history of the North Slope Borough. With that, I'd like to make sure and have my finance folks and oil and gas advisor come to the table in case there are questions that are beyond my expertise. But generally speaking, thank you for the brevity in the scheduling and obviously moving things around so that we can speak to it. I would say that— A lot of what Mayor Machicki spoke to, for the most part, I agree with.
