Good article, I can imagine that the oil companies have been laughing all the way to the bank for years and now the horse is almost out of the barn they will be out looking for other barns to empty. The state should have been looking at ways for years to maximize the profits like an income tax when people could best afford it but it's not just oil, there are so many holes in the Alaska sack allowing so much to escape and I would bet that most of the holes are happy that the attention is focused on oil.
