"is there any other company/cartel on earth that is bestowed such a forgiveness provision? "

Of course not!  This is outrageous!!  But then, Kara Moriarty accused the legislature of a "flagrant money grab" for even discussing reducing the tax credits.

We are already owed $488 Million from just two years of audits in 2006 and 2007.  The amount we are owed from the backlog of audits is most likely billions.

We are owed compound interest on billions for 10 years.  This is why the push to eliminate interest.

If the legislature were working for us, they would demand payment, particularly since they keep complaining about the budget 'crisis' even going so far as to steal our PFD.

It's pretty obvious the legislature and governor have no interest in fixing this self created crisis- they just want access to the Permanent Fund.
