The Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association Regional Wellness and Governance Conference has brought a slew of tribal and state leaders to Unalaska this week -- including Gov. Sean Parnell. While in Unalaska, the governor spoke to conference members about health care in rural communities, signed a scholarship bill at the local high school, and met with city officials at town hall.

He also stopped by the KUCB studios and chatted with KUCB's Alexandra Gutierrez about energy development and his plans for the upcoming legislative session. Topics discussed include the potential for a liquified natural gas storage facility in Unalaska, the effect of Arctic drilling on the Aleutian region, and his proposed changes to the oil tax regimes.
