document: Alaska oil bill draws early fire JUNEAU , Alaska , April 1 -LRB- UPI -RRB- - An Alaska lawmaker introduced an amendment Friday that would give oil companies a tax break provided they pledged to increase production . Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell , a Republican , unveiled plans for 1 million barrels of oil production per day through the Trans-Alaska pipeline system within the next decade . Parnell said he was proposing a tax break for oil companies to encourage investments and to erase declines in state oil production . '' `` The time to reduce oil taxes is now and I am asking all Alaskans to send a clear message to legislators in Juneau that a '' `` do-nothing '' '' strategy is unacceptable because Alaska 's future is at stake , '' '' he said in a statement . But state Rep. Bob Miller , D-Fairbanks , introduced an amendment that would put certain restrictions on oil companies . Under Miller 's plan , companies would get a tax break until January 2017 . After that , they would need to have increased production by 10 percent of current levels to continue getting a break and increase production by another 2 percent each year beyond 2017 . '' `` We want to be sure that they are earning the breaks that we are giving , '' '' Miller said in a statement . '' `` This amendment says here 's the benefit . If you do not make certain metrics for the benefit of Alaska , we withdraw those benefits . '' ''
