No joke though, ask anybody who has been here 20 years if every year, there isn't a state political introducing a new tax scheme to lower oil taxes; after awhile people get to wondering why none of the tax plans make them happy?
Ya know, I can keep an unbiased opinion as I'm not directly involved; and that's all it is; an opinion. No hard feelings meant to any Alaskan's anyway.
Ordered a Redding Press; and got that 5 inch S&W 460 on the list. Saw a BAR safari 338 mag on there too for a gran; maybe in a couple weeks. Thinking about nx fall too.
In my opinion, most all of that has been game playing for making political sound bites, but very little difference occurs in the total take, until the last round. Then the tax jump was absurd.
Each year the Alaskan government counts out separately the total money collected from oil companies, and the total amount of oil produced. Someday I'll get ambitious enough to research many years together like I did for 2006 and 2008. It would be interesting for all the claims and complaints, how much or how little difference has previously been made.
Take care out there this winter. I will pray the Yukon does a better job staying in its banks for a few more decades for you and those around you.

I certainly would not call myself an expert by any means, but it does amaze me how complex the industry is and what all is involved. That is challenging to comprehend.
If Palin runs and wins the nomination in 2012, this could be an easy campaign target for the ‘rats and potentially cause a rift in Republicans. Despite being unpopular and dropping, I don’t think it will be a slam dunk for the GOP.
Redding presses are awesome, and that 460 is sweet! I am thinking about getting a kimber montana m84 in .308 as a mountain rifle for sheep/goats. Be a nice caribou round too. If you see anything you want me to pick up and hold for you, let me know.
