How gullible are some of us in this state? Oh yeah, that's right, a whole bunch of us fell for the lie that reducing oil tax rates was going to somehow, miraculously, lead to INCREASED tax revenues, a bigger permanent fund and bigger dividends.  This announcement is just part of BP's ploy to convince Alaskans that they are not really making any money at these still  "super low" oil prices.  So that the state legislature should not tinker with their hard won tax law that allows them to claim credits for illusory "losses" and claim them and apply them to future profits when prices go back up.  And to prevent any ideas of doing any audit to see if the "losses" are actually real or just accounting tricks.  And a little blackmail and extortion by reducing investment and cutting jobs always helps too.  Don't fall for it.  Those of you who believe BP's false premise, wake up.  Fix the oil tax law!  Do an audit, Governor!
