text: Anyone who believes that any laws don't need to be reviewed and updated after 60 years is suspect. 
  
  The habitat and permitting laws at statehood did not envision or account for development projects as large and potentially toxic as Pebble Mine, as one example. The salmon habitat protections will not affect roads, parking lots, etc. as many will have you believe. They are twisting the truth.  
  
  The salmon initiative also includes provisions where there is more transparency in permitting projects  and MORE opportunity for public comment and involvement!! 
  
  Arctic Slope Regional Corp. already has come out in support of the Pebble project so it's clear they are shills for the foreign developers.
