as I said..  I was wondering and without open debate of ideas how will the problem ever be fixed...   I don't believe Alaska is really getting anything but pennies back from every dollar of resources taken... and often by seasonal, out of state workers so not only do we give away our resources, we don't even get a cent from the workers taking their paychecks home to another state..  any money raised is better than 1 penny spent...   we are all in this together !
