I believe it was Bert Steadman who made the statement that SB21 would effectively remove $2 billion a year from the Alaskan economy when it passed. He lost some important committee assignments due to his objections to that legislation and the Majority made an example of him and any other Majority member who stood in the way of this brand of "free market capitalism" which is anything but.

So, who would have guessed that removing $2 billion from our economy and sending it to London and Houston might have negative effects?
