Comment: Alper presents a solid command of the facts.  Here are a few more that are relevant.  

$10 billion worth of oil and gas liquids is taken from Alaska per year, tax free, and the Senate this year decided to pay almost $700 million in corporate welfare for Big Oil to take the $10 billion dollars worth of oil.  

All of the above is a flagrant violation of Art. VIII of the Alaska Constitution.  It will result in the destruction of the Alaska economy.  No resident will NOT be hurt by the actions of the Senate.  All residential and commercial real estate will lose value as jobs are lost and the population flees Alaska.

The top "leaders" in the Senate have never held real jobs in the private sector, and some of them think the Earth is only several thousand years old.  One of them has a son in prison for sex crimes against a minor.  None of these people would even be qualified to be Wal Mart greeters.  Yet, somehow, they are in positions where they can do enormous harm to the entire state.
