Having read this I'm at a loss for an adequate response to the actions of the GOP. Repeal HB 21 it was thought out with a kick back to the Oil Industry. Guaranteed by people who either do not understand how interlocked the industry actually is on production and pricing. Or were aware and did this to reap a future personal benefit. The Oil Industry crying poor is like a straw man holding a match complaining of fire.
To the politicians of this state only one comment really comes to mind, given the short time left you, History is littered with the corpses of politicians who sought self aggrandizement and personal profit. Cesar was not the first, nor Arch Duke Ferdinand.
Since its inception politicians have tried to find a way to take any lump of money, including the Permanent Fund. They are the Big Bad Wolf attempting to eat all the pork! Balance the budget with your own funds not those of the people. Look to the trading banks The State owns there is more than enough. Repeal HB21
