It is people like you that seem to be paid to keep investors like me from buying leases from the state of Alaska to build prospects on state leases that no one else bids on! 

Hank you work for the big three oil monopoly don't you? You are just doing your job, keeping Alaskans and smaller investors out of Alaska, right?

For 30 years I have paid lots of money to the state for leases that had no other bidders, so Hank do you want me to stop buying leases and stop bringing  investors like Apache to drill in Alaska? 

The state makes money off of my lease purchases and production I help cause, so do you want me to spend my money elsewhere? 

I will stop investing in  Alaska if the state keeps working for the big oil CBC!

It seems the majors are in bed with the state to kill competition and takes Alaska's oil wealth and pays off state leaders to keep Alaskans and others smaller competitors from ever drilling and selling oil for a profit in Alaska!

I hope John Hendrix will fix this mess!
