Ugotta do more spaining about how that's going to work. First: we don't get royalties for offshore oil. Second: offshore workers have specialized skills and are international, like merchant marines. Alaska has a few but most in the US come from the Gulf Coast. Third: The supplies/materiel/equipment will be delivered by ship. This may be where some employment for Alaskans may occur but we won't derive any tax benefits. Wainwright which has a population of under 1000 was the jump-off point for personnel during Shell's exploration. They upgraded their airport, bunkhouse, food and taxi services at the time but much of that may have gone fallow. We're talking about a little bit of employment in a few places for a few people and NO benefits for the state unless there is a spill. Who wants that?
