 JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - It's known as The Last Frontier. But lately, Alaska is worried the rest of America sees it as the Freeloading Frontier.
Gov. Frank Murkowski says it is time for an image makeover. He wants the state to hire a public relations firm to change the perception of Alaska and its people as greedy for federal dollars and all too willing to plunder the environment for profit.
Ultimately, he wants to sway public opinion in favor of opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.
