The Associated Press is reporting that former Governor Frank Murkowski is back in the state to promote a gas line project to deliver natural gas from the North Slope to continental US markets. The reports say that he met earlier this week with officials of ConocoPhilips and plans to meet with other North Slope leaseholders – as well as with TransCanada, the state’s choice to develop the project.
