It`s the cartel and their lock on access to facilities that limit new oil exploration by wildcatters, not the people of this state or tax rates.  Until that`s fixed, and the Prudhoe Bay Joint-operating-Unit Agreement monopoly on access is broken up,,..we`re married to the legacy agenda. 
And it`s naïve of you to believe this CBC run state senate will do anything to fix that monopoly, let alone give away our in-common ownership to speculators from outside Alaska.
