“Your letter is typical of those from national Democrats who fail to understand the needs of Americans who live in the West, especially in some of the most remote and extreme parts of our nation such as Alaska. Life is especially challenging in these communities where the nearest hospital is an expensive airplane, boat or snow machine ride away. Yet these Americans deserve the same opportunities for basic health care and public safety as those who live in Boston or elsewhere in our country. While the habitat values of the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge are indisputable, the residents of King Cove have taken good care of this area for generations.” – Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) to Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) after Markey asked the Interior Department to reject a proposal to build a road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.
