The 2018 Trump budget calls for eliminating all State revenue sharing for Federal oil.  Liberty is located in federal waters.  Net revenue to the State general fund will be zero. Thank Trump.  With no State income tax there is really very little benefit to the state.  One could argue that extra oil in the pipeline should decrease shipping costs for State royalty oil but that is the only direct benefit to the State.  As a trained economist, I have real trouble with the author's claim of 17,000 downstream jobs.  That is some kind of multiplier effect.   Without the math to back it up, this  claim is as empty as the industry promise of jobs from SB 21.   This industry fluff piece is wrong about revenue and wrong about jobs.
