Casey speaks with Professor Doug Reynolds, he is a professor of resource economics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Doug discusses his recent opinion piece for the Anchorage Daily news where he explains how Alaska develops its resources responsibly. The two discuss the concerning trend of large financial institutions avoiding investment in Alaska. Dr. Reynolds makes a tongue and cheek argument for large banking institutions relocating to Fairbanks.
