Why would we want to further damage our economy and kick our major industry when it is down?
Other industries, like mining, tourism, seafood and the many service businesses, will ask the question: Who’s next?
I’ve learned that getting old is much like a mature oilfield. There comes a time to pass the reins in order to remain competitive and productive.
Many Alaskans were led to believe this would stop the Pebble Mine, but the initiative goes way beyond stopping one project. Instead, it negatively impacts all resource development.
Keep the oil industry strong, restructure the Permanent Fund, cut state spending, reduce the dividend and levy taxes, if necessary. And tell Alaska lawmakers to act this session.
OPINION: Alaska should resist temptation to raise taxes on oil industry; short-term gain wouldn't be worth long-term loss.
OPINION: Alaska's tough times are the result of low oil prices and low production -- not the new tax regime, which is working.
OPINION: Lynden chief Jim Jansen says his years in the Alaska transportation business inform his decision to vote No on One.
OPINION: Opponents to fair and competitive oil taxes say the producers must give production guarantees, but in business there are few guarantees.
Since its beginnings in Alaska in 1953, Lynden has grown into a successful international transportation business. We owe it to the hard work and dedication of hundreds of current and past employees, a vibrant Alaska economy and our dedicated customers.
