JUNEAU -- Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell is helping lead an effort aimed at conducting "game-changing" research capable of putting Alaska on more solid economic footing.
"The fact is rental vacancies are low; the state budget is flush right now. But we're at a precipice," he said in an interview from his Anchorage office. Not only must the state work on boosting oil production -- which has been Alaska's economic lifeblood for decades -- but he said it also must "bring research to bear to see what can be done to help make all of the rest of our economic activity more productive, and what can be done to help solve social, environmental health problems and help preserve culture."
