Piecing together a solution
Alaska’s fiscal situation is quite the puzzle, one that requires some tough choices and even bolder action. KEEP is introducing a new graphic element that encourages our legislators to piece together a solution that will resolve our fiscal problems and provide for future generations.
The next in a long line of oil tax reforms
House Resources is back in action reviewing HB111, the latest round of oil tax legislation. Hearings are taking place throughout this week, and public testimony is anticipated to open as early as next week.
Instead of yet again threatening to raise taxes on the oil industry, we should be marketing Alaska’s attributes so we can attract more investment.

Stability drives investmentAs BP Alaska recently tweeted, “Policy drives behavior. SB21 spurred investment, which led to 1st oil production increase in almost 15 years. #AkLeg” Hilcorp chimes in: “If #Akleg makes yet another tax change this year, we will adjust our investment spending in Alaska accordingly. Policy matters.” And former Alaska DNR Director Corrie Feige agrees: “For 40 more years of oil in AK, state needs a stable, business-minded fiscal policy.” |
