The governor and the legislature need to put a gas pipeline aside as they work out how to diversify our economy so that we are not a one horse act. We depend solely on oil and gas as our major source of revenue. That is not good public policy that that will lead Alaska to realize its potential as we develop our natural resources and maximize benefits to Alaska and Alaskans. They first job is balancing the budget. Then clean up our crazy tax credits and adopt the Robin Brena formula. And, finally, make oil and gas a part of a economic development menu as we find value added opportunities with our fish, timber, minerals, and tourism resources.
