This week I heard directly from at least one Alaskan Oil Executive doesn’t support Dunleavy’s vetoes, but we’ve yet to hear from any of the companies publicly about how they feel regarding these devastating cuts to our state. To assist them, I have created a Mad Lib style template they can use to share with Alaskans. Pass this along so they can choose the appropriate answers and tell us how they feel!
Dear (Citizens of Alaska / Governor Dunleavy / Koch Brothers), As the CEO of (Conoco Phillips Alaska / Shell Oil Alaska / BP Alaska/ Exxon Alaska/ Other Oil Company Alaska), I wanted to share my (disgust/support/horror/glee) regarding the recent vetoes by the Dunleavy Administration and (asinine / ridiculous / brave ) support of this (lunacy/exciting crumbling of democracy) by the band of (heartless/ill informed/radical/ bonehead/GOP) legislators. With my role as leader of a major corporation, and with much at stake in the future of our state, I felt I could no longer sit on the sidelines of this (contrived/ bogus/ fiscally idiotic/Koch Brothers’ playbook) debate. Now is the time for me to declare, in no uncertain terms, that this (slaughter/gutting/destruction/demolition/obliteration/anti-Alaskan/radical/ Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity/wet dream) of a (nightmare/vision) for Alaska (should/should not) stand. Alaska (is/was) a great state. Let’s (keep it that way/watch it burn.) Sincerely, ________________, CEO of _______, Alaska
