Tim Huffman, believe what you want maybe others will agree with your position that OPEC and Saudi have nothing to do with oil prices or oil gluts and market manipulation.

We all know here in Alaska's oil business that lower oil prices slows oil & gas investment and HB 247  with it's higher taxes also slows investment! 

This a perfect storm of destruction for the state and Alaskan oil workers at a time when the Trans Alaska Pipeline is vulnerable to being shut down!  HB 247 will end the game! 

Believe whatever you want but using the $10 billion in the Constitutional Budget Reserve will cover the budjet at no harm to any Alaskans and in 12 months you will see oil prices will go up and all will be well! 

Don't Panic! The oil workers gave Alaska this $10 billion savings account (CBR) to take care of the raining day! It is raining Saudi oil all over the world and Alaskans suffer?

So let Alaskans go back to work and do "record drilling just as Saudi" is today! HB 247 is a nuclear Bomb!
