2. Anchorage Daily News reports that it passed..

The Senate narrowly passed a budget bill Thursday that could lead to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Resolution, but there are more hurdles ahead and an end to the decades-old controversy is far from certain.

"We recognize that this is just the first step, but you've got to get through the first step so you can move it down the road," said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska.

The vote Thursday evening was 51-49. It came without the emotional debate and poster-sized wildlife photos that have come to characterize the fight over the coastal plain in Alaska's far northeast.
