Interior Secretary Ken Salazar visited Anchorage today to collect Alaskan’s views on off shore oil and gas development. Its part of a series of meetings he is holding around the country to gather more public input on a five year draft lease sale plan the Bush Administration implemented days before leaving office. It includes sales in Bristol Bay and the Beafort and Chukchi Seas. Salazar heard a range of views on the issue from Alaskans and says he will have a tough decision to make.
