Since we're paying them to take our oil away, AK is actually SAVING  with the pipeline shut down.  Thankfully the bleeding has stopped, at least for now.  I do hope they take their time, getting it going again.

Certainly it's not a contrived issue, meant to arm-twist the legislature at this critical end-of-session, where oil taxes are likely being discussed.  Reminding them who's really in charge, here.  That would be nonsense.
