The Alaska State Legislature is now a completely dysfunctional system. Over 500 bills still in limbo proves that they have closed the forum of debate and created a system that cannot provide responsive government any longer. I see no chance now of legislative reform until after a damaging and prolonged state recessio...

If Alaskans have to be force-feed a mounting proposal of taxes made by the Republican majority, Ms. Moriarty, you and your oil and gas CEOs can join in too. Why should Alaska's treasury pay you $700 million in tax credits when oilfield workers are being laid off and there's no oil exploration in sight? Save yourself...

"....the oil tax credit program ushered in by SB 21, ....." While that sounds very nice and the Left continues to attempt to demonize SB 21, it doesn't really square with the facts, In FY '16 the state will pay out aprox $650.0m in credits, but according to Nathaniel Hertz in this same publication just last month: $4...

..we are storing a lot of oil in the national emergency store down in the salt domes. It doesn`t cost so much and it has to go somewhere. In the stone age they stored grain.

A "new trend"? When I dropped my son off at Reed College in 1990, his dorm had co-educational bathrooms/shower rooms then. Don't know how long those existed before that, but it certainly was the standard arrangement by 1990.

According to the article, this year we will get $68 million in oil production taxes, $700 million in royalty payments from oil producers. We will pay out cash tax credits of $775 million. 775-768=7 So we are $7 million in the hole, because we're paying industry to take our oil. Brilliant!

Precisely. Under ACES the state shared in the risk of oil exploration/development at low prices, in return for a larger share of the profit at high prices. Under SB 21, the state still takes the risk at low prices (we are paying out more in tax credits than we are getting back in taxes AND production credits) but we ...

Industry has always pumped oil out of the North Slope as fast as they can. The time value of mon...
