Alaska needs a tax alright, Gov. Walker. It needs a tax on oil companies. The majority legislators are in the pockets of big oil or outright employees of the oil companies. 500,000 barrels a day of oil down the pipe given to the corporations ? No production taxes until oil hits $73 per barrel. How is SB21 working for Alaskans now?Alaska crude is at $40 per barrel right now and the oil companies claim to be losing money? On free oil?  According to articles in ADN the state will take in $690 million next year, most of that from the state royalty oil. The state gets one of every eight barrels of oil from the legacy fields. Walker wants to sell that to Tesoro.  According to the ADN article, the state will pay out $825 million in secret tax credits (cash) to the oil companies, leaving you and me to pick up the deficit. The legislature is plotting to "restructure" the PFD, code for taking your dividend. Get on the Legislative website and send a POM today.
