Was called last evening by Rasmusson pollers. After answering her question that yes I agreed that a balance of revenue and cutting were needed I asked how the responses were going. She said Alaskans had been very helpful and open but laughingly said one guy had said he recommended, "Taxing the hell out of the oil industry". She seemed totally unaware of how much the tax subsidies were costing Alaska as well as the fact that the "new oil" clause of SB21 would guarantee we will never again be able to set aside savings as the state did under ACES. I know the very pleasant woman was just a questioner for the organization but it was quite astounding once again to see the relative ignorance of my fellow Alaskans on how much SB21 affected the states ability to get much needed revenue into the treasury. The governors proposed production tax floor of 5% rather than the current 4% or lower would take in more money than the entire new income tax would. Everything has to be on the table.
