Frank Heart, Only one bidder in the DNR DOG 2017 Cook Inlet Oil and Gas lease sale is a very bad sign and clearly screams for improvement!  

The Fraser Institute Ranks Alaska's oil and gas system near the bottom as places to invest, so unless Alaska can undo 50 years of very unreasonable oil and gas laws the state's economy will only get worst!

It is time to make things better or investors will put more money in Federal lands and not Alaska lands so it is time for the people to tell the state leaders to fix it so Alaska will not go broke and shut down State Government on July 1, 2017!
