The state would NOT need HB 115 to tax people or take the Permanent fund away if the leaders would stop the oil and gas agencies and big oil companies from blocking Alaskans and smaller competitors from finding and selling oil at a profit. 

Alaska has lots of untapped oil and they block competitors to make the majors more money and less money for Alaskans!

Alaska has more oil then many Middle East OPEC nations so why leave it in the ground and let the majors use Alaska as it's oil and gas storage facility?
