It's important not to confuse "visiting" Alaska with actually "caring" about Alaskans and their families and small businesses.  This Obama official visited Alaska.  She doesn't care enough about Alaska to push back on overly burdensome federal regulations that stop resource development and either put Alaskan owned companies out of business or stop small businesses from ever starting.  Or all the other social ills and human suffering that come with federal action stopping everything from small mining to oil and gas development.  Suicide rates in rural Alaska, particularly for young people with no hope of a good paying job and future, are 3 times that of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans.  Maybe this lady should have visited locations in rural Alaska instead of a rooftop bar in Anchorage.   Hundreds of small businesses in Southeast Alaska supporting logging were destroyed and the current Forest Service chief visited and could not even tell he was in an area of second growth.
