Ms. Patkotak, thank you,  excellent article.  The stink from Juneau is worse than an angry skunk. How I hope for a federal grand jury one day to indict some of these legislators along with the oil companies. I don't give a darn if the senate winks and lets the likes of Micciche and Meyer vote.  They can not legitimize such an immoral, corrupt, blatantly obvious betrayal of oath of office and the trust placed in them by the citizens. We need one good Snowden whistleblower who can prove that any Legislator voted in favor of the oil corporations in order to keep his job, receive "donations" for his/her designated cause, or (gasp) direct secret payments similar to what poor Bill Allen did when he was laundering money for the oilies at the Baronoff.  I believe that what they are doing is unconstitutional on it's face. We are literally paying the oil companies to steal our oil. To vote to do so is illegal even if they are not being paid off. Ostracize these scum and call them out by name.
