We must remember that the natural resources of the State of Alaska belong to the people in common. No this might be socialism. I'm a share holder just like every other person that lives here.

The state manages my share.

BTW they charge me a 75% managment fee.

Sure that’s the story. I do not like Hickel’s and the Port Authority’s plans to have State ownership of oil/gas development to the extent of doing development themselves. They are mostly Republicans, but Gov’t ownership of industry is very close to socialism and endangers the State due to lack of continuity. Could be a big hurt coming.
