A Grim Future Without Oil & Gas

Declining production + oil market crash= a complete disaster for Alaska

  • Draconian cuts to state services
  • No tax base to tap into
  • Rural areas devastated
  • Spend the Permanent Fund
  • Alaska applies to the federal government to

return to territorial status

What needs to happen?

Alaska’s Oil Tax Structure Must Change

  • Real, meaningful changes are needed to

jumpstart production

  • Legislation that does not provide for these

changes will not earn industry support

  • Spirit of cooperation must rule the day
