In a way, I can't blame the oil companies for being aggravated at Alaska. The tax issue on oil has been a constant moving target for them. How can anyone plan when the environment constantly changes? Every Governor and legislative session has changed the tax structure. It guess it was too hard to just charge a percentage on every barrel produced and sent down the pipe line to Valdez.

On the other note of voting everyone out of office,that's a pipe dream. Not all Alaskans are registered to vote and of those registered, even a smaller percentage do actually vote. If Alaskans really don't care any more than that, nothing will ever change. One thought comes to mind though: When it's time to move the outhouse, don't we just move it and cover up the old hole rather than trying to drain it? Just a thought.
