"On April 5, Myron Naneng, former head of the Assoation of Village Council Presidents, testified before Congress in opposition to the Izembek road, in a hearing organized by Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska."

This is a man who doesn't believe the Federal Government should be spending money on health care for citizens.  And yet tens of millions of dollars so 1000 people have access to an all weather airport in a state where many more communities don't either?  This doesn't pass the smell test.  

Erica, this article reads like a press release from the offices of Don Young and Peter Pan Seafoods.  

Every discussion of the King Cove road should detail that Don Young and Lisa Murkowski have received a lot of support and glad handing from the profitable industries involved.
