Murkowski drops pipeline session plans _________________________________________________ By MATT VOLZ, Associated Press Writer Published: September 6, 2006 Last Modified: September 6, 2006 at 04:25 PM JUNEAU - It will be up to a future governor to sign a contract for a $25 billion North Slope natural gas pipeline to Canada, Gov. Frank Murkowski’s top aide said Wednesday. This past month saw Murkowski lose his re-election bid, BP PLC shut down part of the Prudhoe Bay oil field and federal agents raid lawmakers’ offices for their ties to an oil field services company. The effect of those events have effectively dashed Murkowski’s hopes to be the governor that delivers a fiscal contract with the state’s largest oil companies that leads to a gas pipeline to Canada and then Midwestern markets. Murkowski Chief of Staff Jim Clark, Revenue Commissioner Bill Corbus and others on Murkowski’s gas negotiating team met with several state senators Wednesday in Anchorage. The talk no longer centered on whether to meet in a special session this fall, but how best to prepare the past two years’ pipeline negotiations for the next governor. “We described to them that we’re going to work to finish it so we have a package to hand off to the next administration,” Clark said. “It’s important that we leave a roadmap as a transition for the next administration that comes in.” more: adn.com
