It might actually help if does affect them so they can get infrastructure caught up. Because if oil does drop, it won’t stay at the price forever and will go back up. One thing about ND, their legislature created a fund that put oil revenue that can’t be touched until at least 2017 so if do have a downturn, they are prepared for it.
I wish our legislators here in the People’s Republic of CA had such wisdom!
And BTW we have a gazillion barrels of oil in our state both offshore and in shale formations but the liberals won’t let us touch it.
