text: In all due respect Sir...If you kill the oil industry and run drillers out of work in Alaska who will provide them jobs and the 90% of the cash they provide to run the government that many good people work for and want to keep their jobs? Based on what you write I can guess you don't own a home or any land in Alaska because your ideas would make homes and landowners to lose over half the value!! 
  
  It seems you don't like oil workers, but know this they don't want to be out of work because of foolish ideas!! HB 247 will cost lots of jobs and the state will be broke with a shut down TAPS! Alaskans want jobs and more oil production because going broke is bad for all Alaskans!!
