text: The problem? The current version of the bill, from the finance committee, still makes changes that some pro-industry Republicans don’t support, like one that would end a generous tax deal for newly developed oil after five years. One wing of Chenault’s caucus appears to remain opposed to the bill, with members arguing that the proposed changes are too abrupt. 
  
  “I cannot support it,” Rep. Lynn Gattis, R-Wasilla, said in an interview late Sunday. “We should not change tax regimes willy-nilly.” 
  
  This statement sums up republicans in Alaska. The rest of us can go suck eggs when it comes to cuts in the budget but the almighty oil companies.....this is why no one up for reelection should receive 1 vote.
