Frank, you have a couple good points, right up until you try to put words in my mouth. Also  I am not in the oil industry, by a long shot, so stop calling it "my industry". I believe stable tax policies benefit all businesses, not just oil companies, and am against the radical changes in tax policies like the State of Alaska loves to implement every few years. 

I was against SB21 because it was yet another change to tax policies. But then I also voted against its repeal for the very same reason. How can any company that wants to make long term investments here plan?

I agree they won't give laid-off workers a "grace period" -- that is a very good point. But the state changing their mind, once again, seemingly overnight, on tax credits isn't going to help keep any workers on the payroll.
