Texas producers pay the farmer/landowners a royalty..and they enforce the farmers getting it. 
Then the state of Texas gets the severance/production tax.  
  Sb21 screws Alaska out of the  "production" tax part,.. that the state of Texas enjoys to fund it`s infrastructure.  That was part of the subterfuge of SB21 and it`s tie-in to gas and liquids production in Alaska,the costs of which the cartel, using SB138, wants to write off against it`s oil taxes!!  That`s what I get from being "like Texas".   In that respect I wish we were like Texas.  But in Alaska the people own the oil not the farmers and we get the royalty. It`s the taxes we are being screwed out of with SB21 and SB138
