No Steve it is not as black and white as you are trying to reduce it to. What a responsible, truly independent legislature would have done is come up with a compromise that kept the best of ACES and got rid of the worst in a manner that covered the states revenue stream at both high and low prices. The people that shoved SB21 out were not as concerned about the effects the radical revision of ACES would have on the state as they were eager to show gratitude for the oil industry campaign contributions that would keep them in office for another term. As Kevin Meyers said "It's a crap shoot" and the state has come up snake eyes. Didn't have to be this way Steve but with an illegally gerry wandered super majority in control they got what they wanted regardless of all the warnings to the contrary.
