Funny how these articles never mention all the money we get off of the oil companies through royalties, corporate tax, property tax and the benefit from all the good jobs, with an 85% alaska hire rate. Oh, and production did increase this last year. Stop trying to tax to death the industry that has paid for this state for decades.

Also funny, is how those same people who want to punitively tax the oil industry also want to implement an income tax. In other words, they don't want to make the hard decisions and cut to a budget we can sustain, they want to spend us into the grave.
