Alaska Gov. Dunleavy says Biden ‘knowingly and willingly’ breaking the law by cancelling oil, gas leases

Joe Biden, Sept. 5, 2023, Washington, D.C.

Governor Mike Dunleavy slams President Biden over his recent action to cancel oil and gas leases in an Alaskan federal wildlife refuge that were awarded to the state. The Alaskan Governor says that Biden “is knowingly and willingly is breaking the law, because this bill was passed by Congress in 2017, that required acres to be sold as part of the the Tax Act, they know it’s illegal, they know they can't just willingly violate the congressional action, a law. They're just hoping to send a chill down the spine of investors, they're hoping to scare folks off. But I think more importantly, [the Biden administration] are really virtue signaling to their NGO’s, that want a make-believe world in which I guess we power ourselves on love, but long story short, they know it’s wrong.”The Governor says “there will be action, a court action, certainly from us, and some of the shareholders, the lease holders themselves. But in the end, all this is doing is it's going to end up taxing Americans.”
