And what would you expect our elected leader to do? when fighting for this state`s rights and sovereignty over fiscal issues?.., tie his hands behind his back and gag himself?   
   What of industry threats to leave or not develop on leases they have been sitting on for forty years (30 years on Pt. Thomson..) if we impose a production tax?  
  That doesn`t bother you?   What about them threatening to leave if we alter a tax system that calls old oil "new" oil and they not only pay no production taxes on, but are going to subsidize their profits for years unless the price of oil rises back in the 100 dollar a barrel and above. Does it bother you that they are pumping ten thousand barrels a day of high quality gas liquids we own without paying a fair production/severance tax?   
   Your as good a shill here KKK, as you used to be under another name and another comment system. But then we could block your shilling. 
 Do they pay you by the word or by the paragraph to lobby for the cartel?
