I agree the legislature is still wasting money on themselves and their pet projects, but...

"punitive taxes on both the oil industry"

SB21 was written by the oil industry, for the industry.

The Senate Majority says we are getting 24% of gross profits, where is this +2 billion in revenue?

It appears the Senate Majority just blatantly lies.

If we were getting our fair share of 1/3, we should be getting over $3 Billion, there would be no crisis.

What the House is doing with HB111 doesn't go far enough.

The media is doing very little to question the Senate's claims or inform us at all about the real numbers on revenue from our resources.
