5-12-16 How The Federal Government Stole Alaska’s Statehood Birthright

Even if the federal government were to restore the natural resource birthright it has stolen from the 49th State, Alaskans would STILL remain challenged. For when its citizens enjoyed what seemed to be unlimited oil wealth 3-4 decades ago, it taxed more and spent more and more -- until it had developed an unsustainable lifestyle. So, we do hope that great leadership can free Alaska of the federal overreaching jurisdiction and violations of due process described below. But then, equally great leadership -- with disciplined citizen support -- must establish sustainable government services [...]

10-18-14 Journal of Commerce’s Andrew Jensen Fact Checks State Senator Bill Wielechowski

Journal of Commerce, 8-7-14, by Andrew Jensen. If there is one thing Anchorage Democrat Sen. Bill Wielechowski (NGP Photo) is good for, it is providing column material with his reactions to ConocoPhillips earnings reports. This quarter is no different, and he definitely isn’t making the task any more difficult. • “Yesterday ConocoPhillips announced $627 million in 2nd quarter profits from their Alaska operations or nearly $7 million per day from Alaska alone. On an hourly basis that equates to almost $300,000 in profits each and every hour.” So? Here Wielechowski is simply [...]

Three Comments: Alaska's Unsustainable Economy Is Based On Predatory Taxes And Wasteful Spending by Dave Harbour (See TransCanada's Newest Edition of "Update Magazine") Comment 1 of 3: Here's a concept: a gasline can only materialize when the markets call for construction and when investors believe they will make a reasonable return on and of their investments. Since the three major Alaska North Slope producers are the major potential gas pipeline investors, they must believe that their Alaskan assets are safe from unpredictable expropriation by Alaska through imposition of future, predatory tax policies.

First, See Our Alaska Petroleum Tax Commentary From Yesterday Opinion: Two Tax Events Today Underscore Need for Legislative Action THIS YEAR! By Dave Harbour Yesterday's tax discussions kicked off with a 7:30 a.m. presentation at the Resource Development Council for Alaska (RDC) meeting by Steve Hites (NGP Photo), owner of the Skagway Streetcar Company. Hites could easily qualify for the national speakers' circuit with his humorous and sardonic touches on history, current events and public policy. (See speech text and video here.)

2-4-2010 “I don’t do vision statements very well.” (Gas Pipeline Federal Coordinator) – We Comment on Legislators’ Criticism of Alliance Effort to Save Alaska

1. ADN. On Tuesday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski asked Larry Persily (NGP Photo), the president's nominee to be federal coordinator of the Alaska gas line project, how he would apply his knowledge of oil and gas through a "federal lens." "I just deal in reality," Persily said. "I don't do vision statements very well." (Commentary: Good answer, Larry. Too many are speculating; too few are speaking with restraint based on facts. - dh) Representative Les Gara, Anchorage, Alaska.
