Drop in on Legislature

Were meeting for my group in Auke Bay at the home of one of the steering committee members.




But we had a little time between landing coming out here for me to walk the few blocks from the hotel to the Terry Miller Legislative Building where the legislature is having its special session in the gym.

The room is pretty crowded with legislators, staff, and some media. There were maybe 30 seats that seemed to be designated for the media and public (they were on the side as you walked in and there were empty seats. I sat down and pulled out my camera just to get a feel of this. I struggled to find the person who was speaking. I couldn't. Then someone in the room thanked the speaker for being there telephonically.

The voice in the movie is Spencer Hosie of Hosie, MacArthur LLP in San Francisco. There website says:

The lawyers of Hosie McArthur LLP have built a reputation for trying and winning difficult cases. In the past two decades, our lawyers have won over $2 billion in cases involving antitrust, intellectual property, energy and natural resources law and business tort claims.




In the video he's responding to a question about whether it the producers could legally withhold the natural gas because it was economically unfeasible. It takes a while for him to get to the key point: If it wasn't feasible, why have the brought forward the Denali Plan?



Looking down the hill from where the session is being held.
