text: When Furie drilled and found gas at a site in Cook Inlet, per state direction as to location depth of the wells (with a huge state subsidy if I remember right...) they reported the find to the state and press as being nine trillion cubic feet of natural gas!  Upon further discussion of the wild claims, the realistic current amount (far far less!) was agreed to by the agencies and Furie.   A loan program is far more safe and beneficial to the state than credits that can be played by obfuscated audits and claimed expenses and costs..SB21 needs to be trashed and a tax on the GROSS amount of oil needs to be put back into place as we once had.  And no more separate accounting, letting them write off foreign losses from the taxes they owe on profits made here in Alaska.  If there is so much quality oil there it by itself will justify being tapped to go into TAPS.  We`ll be happy to give them a low interest loan with equity for collateral. No more credits to GAME the people of Alaska with.
