yes exactly! Robin Brena explained that if we were getting our historical fair share of oil profits, there would be just enough to pay for our budget expenses.

The place to start with that is audits- we need to see exactly how it costs $50 per barrel to get our oil out of the ground.  They have been caught inflating costs by FERC.

We are already owed $488 Billion(plus interest=$2 Billion) for audits from 2006.  Instead of collecting this money, the legislature discontinued oil tax audits, never collected the money owed and are allowing the statute of limitations to run out.

The only thing the legislature cut from their own budget was the budget and audit committee.
Meanwhile, The oil companies are now lobbying the legislature to reduce interest to only 3 years.

Most of this information is from the ADN, much of it Dermot Cole so he knows damn well how out of control the corruption is but continues to push for the theft of our PFDs.

Agenda much ADN and Dermot Cole?
