After giving away.....no, I mean paying the oil companies to produce our oil, our population will not be in the financial position to properly fund these fine Republican candidates. As such, we commoners must allow unlimited cash to flow to these Republicians, allowing them to remain in control of the State House and Senate to decide if there is anything else the outside interests need money for. I'm thinking we need to offer a subsidy that pays a fixed amount for each fish caught, each ounce of gold mined and why not rebate the cost of each cruise ship ticket? All this can all be administered out of the new LIO in Anchorage. We could name it the Alaska Reverse Bank. The amount of tellers the State would need to hire alone would offset the loss of North Slope jobs.
