The Senator has facts on her side...ACES had many flaws most notably the credits encouraged and rewarded investment, not production.  New and more production is what we all wanted; SB21 corrected that issue.  As to the promise of more oil and more jobs, world market conditions are overpowering the intentions of the oil industry across the country.  And yes, it is our oil; that's why the State gets it's royalty share regardless of the cost of finding and developing the oil and gas.  The model can be refined, like issuing credits once new production is online.  But the system we have now is far better than what we had under ACES; whether you believe it or not....
