| | Frank Murkowski and Fran Ulmer at Commonwealth North |
 | | ULMER: Well, again, I'd like to compliment Commonwealth North for taking up this topic of the rural urban divide and really putting on the table some important recommendations creating the dialogue that really needs to take place within this state about where are we different, where are we the same, how can we work together. |
 | | ULMER: Well, let me just say I can't object more strenuously than, you know, on this issue than on any issue that your assertion that somehow we created this issue so that it would be a politically divisive thing that we could kind of stack urban versus rural against each other is an outrageous suggestion. |
 | | And, unfortunately, that too failed, so I guess we can all share, Fran, in the degree of failure, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't commit ourselves to resolve this thing. |
