From Les Gara:"Oops. In this past week's media push, Alaska Senate Republican leaders forgot to mention the $1.45 billion in oil company subsidies they propose Alaskans pay through new tax deductions. I agree we should end an unaffordable $1.5 billion in oil company "credit" subsidies. But It doesn't do much to help our staggering deficit to reduce oil company tax payments to Alaskans by almost the same amount. Hoping Senators agree there's work to do to reach across the aisle for principled consensus."
