When we elect new legislators and fix SB21, oil revenue is enough to support government spending.

As Robin Brena explains " the state's percentage of petroleum revenues has decreased from 35 percent of gross revenues received by the producers to 8 percent in three years. Were the state to have received the same percentage share of gross revenues in 2015 as it received in 2012 (35 percent), the state's petroleum revenues in 2015 would have been $4.8 billion and the state's budget would have been very close to balanced."
