I have been in the oil business in Alaska for 30 years and I can tell you that state has run off lots of investors and has cost thousands of Alaskan jobs and has lost billions, they have 50 appeals stopping oil development right now and leave it all in limbo..

Alaska will suffer because of the outrageous abuse by this insane oil and gas bureaucracy to kills jobs, investment and gives the majors most the money as Alaskans see oil production income decline and smaller oil companies are forced to lay off Alaskans and go out off business.

Many have tried to work with the state but they act like bullies and run them out of business, why, so the big oil companies can control the state and have Alaskans pay taxes to support this?

The state has $60 Billion in the PF and CBR maybe use some to pay the bills and get new leaders in next years election that will allow Alaskans and smaller oil companies to compete with the big three that seems to own this government. Give Alaska back in 2018!
