Spot on Blankenyblank..... whoever you are. Lest there be any doubt about Big Oil's "water carriers in the legislature", view the tape of House Finance Committee meeting of yesterday afternoon and evening. Among the standout apologists, those weakly attempting to obfuscate, and those successfully blocking healthy ame...

Only if the state actors hand it off to the minor oil companies. I can see Doyon Drilling being able to handle some of it, and the others picking up their shares. I can see a consortium being formed. What I can't see is our "Clown-Bus" being able to even find their rears, even if they had a map.

Make no mistake. The main message we're being told here is that the legislators have no intention of solving the entire problem. They'll make their raid on the permanent fund and then pat each other on the back about a job well done as they walk out the door, kicking the can in front of them. Early voting starts Oct...

The State of Alaska is occupied by idiots. The constant anti corporate rhetoric is insane. It's no wonder Alaska Democrats chose Socialist Bernie Sanders as their candidate. These vocal dim wits seem to have no idea how all their free stuff is paid for or how jobs are created or any understanding of the laws of sup...

Even if an income tax is passed it will only raise $200 million versus a $4 Billion shortfall. The longer we wait to implement the plan above, the more at risk the dividend is. It will be interesting to come back to many of the posts below a couple of years down the road if Plan A isn't done and the dividend is gone ...

So the majority is going along with the Governors plan to tap into the PFD. I say take the whole darn thing, seems silly to hand out PFD's then expect Alaskans to pay it back in the form of taxes.

I don't think that's what most of us are saying. We are saying that Planned Parenthood is not the demon it is being put out to be, and Mr. Minnery is not being honest.

You does protest to much! Maybe you should be looking at the 4 million bpd from the frackers the past few years not the reducing bpd from Alaska for the reason your Saudi prince is mad. Also what business in America cares more for its workers than its owners; other than Alaskan oil workers.

Well if it's your money why don't you go to the bank the state uses & see if you can make a withdrawal? As we are finding out we have little or no say on how our money is used. 'Our' money & 'our' resources looks great on paper but means nothing to the legislature.

Sales tax gets barely any mention, but its the only fair tax. If a tax is indeed needed, a sales tax ensures everyone chips in. The well-off will pay more because they consume more, but the less well-off will also contribute something. With an income tax almost 50% of workers will pay nothing. And an income tax is a ...

Business goes where the money is and especially free money like Alaska. Oil companies are whiners they just are - as they run to the bank with all of your money - and they will complain as long as they haven't yet sucked you as dry as a oil well.

Just so happened they were trying to clean up the seeping mine waste left behind by the mining company.... ie it was polluting the River and ground water already, just not as visible when it broke open, which could happened without the federal attempt to clean it up. Ie original problem was the mine not the feds.

Or maybe all the oil workers should each send the governor a thank you letter for the $860 million dollar welfare payment to their employers next year. I hope the workers get a bonus from it seeing how generous their employers CEO's are.

Gov. Walker granted Caleus royalty relief in 2014.
