Comment: Once again the Democrats will spend the next 3-6 months trying to kill the only industry in Alaska that actually produces revenue for State government.  SB21 is the only tax scheme in the last 20 years that has actually allowed an increase in production despite the low oil price environment worldwide that has devastated the industry and resulted in layoff of hundreds of thousands of workers.  The producers have lived up to the commitment that they made to the people of the State of Alaska when SB21 repeal was voted down and have spent billions to ramp up production and keep the pipeline operating.  Now the Democrats want to punish the industry and go back on the State's commitment to the industry.  If this happens more layoffs will occur, projects will be shut down, and the State will once again dry up as production drops.  This is how the State of Alaska rewards success ??
