My opposition to this project is not a case of ‘not in my backyard.’ It’s a firm stance against corporate welfare and a belief in the principles of capitalism.
The end of Ayrshire Road, just west of the Guernsey Road intersection, is marked with snowmachine tracks on Saturday, Feb. 5, 2022.
Unfortunately, the majority of society that wants to experience the outdoors in Alaska has gotten soft and lazy. This has created the idea that for outdoor recreation to be fair, the state is responsible for developing and exploiting an area to obtain the ordinary residents’ level of “access” they feel they deserve. The West Susitna area has already been accessible — and accessed — for many years.
I find it particularly egregious when the corporations standing to gain the most are not based in Alaska or even the U.S. If the juice were worth the squeeze, the resource development companies would pay for “access” to Alaska’s resources. This is Alaska, the “Last Frontier,” and if “access” needs to be redefined as being able to drive a 50-foot Class A motor home to an area, we should look at rewording our state motto. The true Alaskan lifestyle and way of life is why many of us live here and refuse to live elsewhere.
