Crawford skips over how SB-21 (which he supported) contributes to a $4 billion dollar deficit.  It is nonsense that the major producers are not making money hand over fist.  Rex Tillerson, CEO of ExxonMobil, rakes in $525,000.00 per WEEK.  Big Oil is taking almost $10 billion dollars of our oil tax free, per year.  Crawford also ignores the obscene corporate welfare- almost $700 million per year and one of the biggest expenditures in the budget.

SB-21 continues to be the biggest single threat to the Alaska economy.  Too bad Crawford blithely ignores this, as his points about the Permanent Fund are solid.
