Gosh, I miss Tony! Your commentary is right on. At a time when our oil-based economy is in dire need of diversification, it makes absolutely no sense to sacrifice our source of tourist dollars (and not to forget those of many thousands of wildlife viewing Alaskans) by losing a chief attraction to the benefit of a handful of people. Contrast the relative value (and image) of a ragged, stiffened carcass hanging in someone's backyard with that of the living animal, capable of being viewed, and photographed, and remembered over and over tens of thousands of times. Come on Bill, it's time to do your part for the economy and for the folks who campaigned and voted for you. Establish this area and ameliorate the deleterious effects of the wolf Townships that intrude like an inflamed thumb into the eye of the Denali Park ecosystem!  Live wolves and bears are gifts that keep on giving!
