Who could have guessed that oil and gas taxation could be such an interesting subject? No joke – since we have the opportunity to focus in on one issue in this special session – it has provided the opportunity to really learn a lot about not only taxes, but the industry itself. It’s a fascinating debate and obviously a huge issue for Alaska. |
