MARCH 13, 2001 The Alaska Senate Finance Committee on Monday approved a $1.85 million spending plan to address efforts to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil drilling. The House had previously approved a $1.5 million grant to Arctic Power, a pro-development group. The Senate approved the amount, added $250,000 for educational outreach, and $100,000 to go directly to the village of Kaktovik, whose residents have said they have been swamped by outside press descending upon the region in search of stories.
