alaska its huge. relative to theig as the whole midwest. and the capital of that huge state is nowhere near the middle of that huge state. it is way down in the corner. which means in practical terms that if you serve in the alaska state legislature it is totally possible that you getting to work is like you going from some where in south dakota to some where in maybe kentucky. that is among the reasons that alaska's legislative session is very short. 90 calendar days. not business days. consecutive days. they start the session for the year in january. and then it is 90 calendar days long. then it is over. they do not come back until the following january. see you next year. and that puts a little drama into the end of the session every spring. i've mean when they wrap up they don't come back for a really, really long time. that just happened in alaska. it was time to cram everything in before the long trek home. because it was the end of the session this past weekend they had a lot to get done. members of the house

the presiding officer: the senator from alaska. ms. murkowski: madam president, i come to the floor just about an hour or so after a motion to proceed to take up the paycheck fairness act. and i struggled with my decision as to whether to move to a measure that i feel was flawed in terms of its approach to a solution, or to recognize that perhaps this was more an exercise in political messaging than an effort to try to resolve what i believe is an issue. and in sorting through all aspects, not only the merits of the legislation, the facts as they exist back home, the facts as they exist around this country where we see pay disparity between men and women. i had a lot on my mind. i had a lot to weigh. i did not come to the floor yesterday to speak with the many who rose to either offer amendments, proposed amendments to the paycheck fairness act, or those who wrote to speak to defend the act. and skwropbt my silence yesterday to be construed that t think this is an issue here, that i don't think this is something that needs to be address

the presiding officer: the senator from alaska. ms. murkowski: mr. president, i want to commend my colleague, the senator from north dakota here not only for his leadership on so many energy initiatives, but for the proposal that he has put forth here this afternoon. i'm pleased to be able to join him in support of those various measures, measures that as he has outlined will not only as a nation allow us to move forward, take that leadership role which we so rightly, so rightly have, and really should use as something to benefit not only ourselves and our economy, jobs within the nation, but really to benefit other nations. and so the proposal that he has advanced, again, that i am pleased to join him on, one that allows for incredible jobs and opportunities with the construction of the keystone x.l. pipeline, provisions that will allow for expedited prosing of our l. -- processing of our l.n.g. exports, recognizing again that when we produce more in this country, when we produce more of a resource that not only allows us to be more energy secure, bu

the cost of living. when you look at alaska, and you look at the cost of living, alaska, ang raj -- anchorage specifically, 30% higher than, fairbanks 40% higher. so, again, having this higher ratio for us is very important. it doesn't mean all the time that the dollars go so far. when you look at in the whole country, the terms of buying power, what you can buy for the dollar you earn, alaska has three of the cities at the bottom 11. when you look at the whole list, 11 at the bottom, alaska has three of them. juneau, kodiak, fairbanks. because the dollar can't go far enough. that's why raising the minimum wage will help them be able to purchase more, enjoy a better quality of life. i tell you, alaskans like hawaiians, we know challenges and we have tough challenges because we're kind of isolated lots of times and sometimes forgotten that we bale, actually, exist in the union and we have to make that point more than once but it doesn't matter if we're doing drilling on the arctic which is a great challenge or dpish fishing for crab in the bering sea which is an unbelievable test of capacity and ability, b
