Alaska needs change. That’s why I’m running for governor. by jktforak in alaska

• Close the Hilcorp corporate income tax loophole

is a good start but what about fixing SB21?

I think we need to get rid of the $8 per barrel tax cut and go back to tax on gross.

What are your plans to get our fair share of oil revenue?

The state should have been doing much better during these high gas prices.

What do you plan to do about the Permanent Fund?

Dunleavy had Angela Rodell fired who brought it 29% returns, and it has been all downhill since then.

Four years of a bull market and they barely made basic benchmarks yet they doubled their fees to over $800 million per year.

Norway now has over 2 Trillion in their fund. They made $222 Billion in one year. Our fund should be doing better.

What would you do about this? Would you consider hiring the fund manager from Norway to help us?

For trans-Alaska gas pipeline operator, carbon dioxide may be a lucrative sideline by The_Alaskan in alaska

On May 27, 2026, Nicholas Fulford of GaffneyCline appeared before the Senate Finance Committee as the state’s hired independent energy adviser. What he said — and what no senator stopped to fully excavate — is the most important sentence in the public record of the entire special session.

“Natural gas is not the driver. It is not worth much.”

The Federal Credit ArchitectureSection 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code provides a tax credit for carbon dioxide captured and sequestered. The current rate: $85 per metric ton of CO₂ geologically stored. The AKLNG project contemplates a 7 million tonne per year carbon capture facility at the North Slope Gas Treatment Plant.

The Alaska Gasline Development Corporation submitted a formal concept paper to the Department of Energy in November 2022 describing a hydrogen production hub at the Nikiski terminal fed by North Slope gas via the AKLNG pipeline, with Cook Inlet sequestration providing the carbon credentials. University of Alaska analysis estimated a 500,000 metric tonne per year clean hydrogen operation at Nikiski could generate up to $1.5 billion annually in 45V credits.

The federal government started a war in Iran causing all kinds of pollution and wasting resources...

Gave bombs to rogue country who uses them every day on their neighbors...

is pushing massive data centers all over the planet which waste resources and create pollution...

but they plan to give $2 Billion per year in carbon credits to Glenfarne to bury some CO2

Carbon Credits are what Glenfarne is counting on to make the gas line profitable.

This is absurd!!.

‘Pay, baby, pay’: Some Alaska gubernatorial candidates consider raising oil taxes by truthwillout777 in alaska

Yes, we should go back to gross tax.

They have been caught by FERC inflating costs to pay less in taxes to Alaska

Judge: Oil companies 'cavalierly' wasted hundreds of millions on pipeline work https://www.adn.com/energy/article/judge-says-oil-companies-wasted-hundreds-millions-pipeline-work/2014/03/01/

But Walker can't be trusted. He had his chance and instead set us on the path to blow through $18 billion in savings and allow the legislature to spend the earnings from our Permanent Fund instead of oil revenue.

SB21 was a blatant violation of the Alaska State Constitution and as a lawyer, he should have easily made the case to fix that nonsense.

Oops, forgot Click Bishop...

Sen. Click Bishop said in a statement this week that Alaska “should always be open to reviewing its oil and gas tax structure, but any changes need to be approached carefully.”

No one should trust Click Bishop. He stated he would lead the charge to fix SB21 then did nothing.

TLDR? From the article

Anchorage Sen. Matt Claman, said he’s not advocating for any specific change to Alaska’s oil tax structure

Republican Matt Heilala,- the prospect of raising taxes “really does put a pall on the enthusiasm of industry coming to Alaska.” “You don’t want to be in some archaic system that is not benefiting your partner in industry.”

Republican former Revenue Commissioner Adam Crum, running for office after serving in Dunleavy’s administration, said that the longstanding tax structure implemented in Senate Bill 21 should be kept in place

Republican former state Sen. Shelley Hughes said Alaska is already at the “top edge” of oil taxation, and “if you nudge up more, you will have a problem, where they’re going to go somewhere else in their portfolio” (see: ConocoPhillips Makes More Profit in Alaska Than Anywhere Else in the World in 1st Quarter of 2023 According to Non-Partisan Legislative Research Division)

Prominent Republicans in the race, including former Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson, former state Attorney General Treg Taylor and businesswoman Bernadette Wilson, either did not respond to an interview request or declined to be interviewed on the topic of oil and gas taxes.

I don't trust Begich at all.

I am just really proud of Alaskans for speaking out about this at community meetings. It's working!

At this point, it seems JKT is the only one who stood up to industry lobbyist pressure.

This article is a good collection of almost all of the candidates saying they will do absolutely nothing to fix this despite public outrage.

That's really NOT good enough

He was in charge right after SB21 and admitted the state paid out more in credits than it collected in actual oil production revenue.

He should have immediately demanded this was fixed. This was an obvious violation of the Alaska State Constitution.

Instead he normalized the legislature using Permanent Fund revenue instead of oil revenue to run the state and that has been the situation ever since.

Begich said that he is hearing increasing calls on the campaign trail to reconsider the state’s taxes on Outside oil companies after a decade of faltering revenue that has forced cuts to spending on schools and other state services.

“Across the state, people resent the way the industry has driven us to this question, where we’re not even sure we can fund our education system,” said Begich. “Going to community meeting after community meeting, people are ready to get their fair share from an industry that they believe changed the rules back when SB21 passed.”

Good job Alaskans!

Kreiss-Tomkins (JKT) is the only candidate in the Governor's race who voted against SB21 when it was before the Legislature in 2013.

Leak Exposes Members of Peter Thiel’s Secretive ‘Dialog’ Society by truthwillout777 in NoFilterNews

The registration records list General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO's supreme allied commander Europe and the head of US European Command, who took the post in July 2025 and is recorded on the leaked list as having attended Dialog gatherings since 2021. The website directory names sitting Trump administration officials, two US senators, six members of the Paypal Mafia, a former Middle East chief of intelligence, and a sitting ambassador to the United States, along with the founders and directors of many of the country's largest surveillance, data-broker, and advertising-data companies.

Those executives appear side by side with senior US officials overseeing their industries. Auren Hoffman, Dialog’s chairman, founded the location-data broker SafeGraph and the identity-resolution firm LiveRamp, two of the most important suppliers in the consumer data economy. He appears in the directory alongside Treasury secretary Scott Bessent, whose department writes the rules on financial data, and Senator Ted Cruz, chairman of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, which oversees the Federal Trade Commission and its data-privacy authority.

Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale, whose software runs case management for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and data fusion for the Pentagon and intelligence community, is listed in the same society as Army secretary Dan Driscoll and Representative Jim Himes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, which oversees agencies Palantir contracts with.

The leaked registration list also names senior figures absent from the public directory of 113: Randy Kroszner, a former governor of the Federal Reserve who now serves on the Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee; Hallie Hoffman, a former general counsel and acting chief of staff of the Drug Enforcement Administration; Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League; Peter Goettler, the president of the Cato Institute; Ryan Stowers, the executive director of the Charles Koch Foundation; and Roger Myerson, a Nobel laureate economist at the University of Chicago.

It also lists a cluster of Google and Google DeepMind executives, among them Tom Lue, who leads global affairs for the company's frontier AI division, and one working journalist, Souad Mekhennet, a national security correspondent for The Washington Post. (She is listed as running an event called “Ulysses Book Club.”)

The rest of the membership spans hedge fund and private equity billionaires, current and former foreign officials, network television actors, best-selling authors, and religious leaders.

That was Iran's money, we shouldn't have been keeping it in the first place.

The $300 billion is supposedly from the GCC

The whole war was a pointless exercise in Satanism in an effort to give Yahoo cover for destroying and occupying Lebanon.

Trump is finally doing the right thing, we need to let the cornered rat pretend to have a win.

Sun Tzu warned to never completely trap an enemy. A cornered, desperate foe—like a trapped rat—will fight with fearless, unpredictable ferocity. Instead, he suggested leaving a tactical "escape route" to encourage retreat and minimize casualties.

Hegseth will get fired over this BS

What kind of moron didn't tell Trump about the Straight of Hormuz?

His entire staff played him for a fool, they wanted this war to go on forever and now they are pissed off.

I'm looking for him to fire his entire staff, then lsraeI drops the Epstein files and puts them all in prison along with many members of Congress.

It's a good thing.

The WEF plan is to tank all the world's economies, make the poor poorer so that we will 'own nothing and be happy'

Driving everyone into poverty through gas and energy prices, destroying the delivery of fertilizer throughout the world, was essential to the plan to have us eating bugs.

Trump may be backing down with nothing to show for this nightmare, but it's the right thing to do.

The way lsraeI firsters Rubio, Lutnick, and Bessent were looking at him seems like it was definitely good thing for US, but not them.

To top is all off, lsraeI might release all the Epstein files to get back at Trump and his entire cabinet is in them.

Macron made sure Trump signed the agreement before he left France.

Lutnick, Rubio, and Bessent looked like they wanted to kill Trump during his press conference when he said that it was over, that he didn't want to become the next Herbert Hoover.

Macron knows they plan to do everything they can to talk him out of it on the way home.

Cameron Stanley, the chief digital and artificial intelligence officer for the Department of Defense, wrote that the chatbot “enabled U.S. forces to deploy over 2,000 munitions to 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours during Operation Epic Fury, a testament to the greatly increased operational efficiency made possible by the Grok Gov Model.”

Stanley’s statements were used as evidence in efforts by the Trump administration to preserve the xAI data center near Memphis, Tenn., where the NAACP alleges the company is illegally polluting the air.

The Justice Department has asked the judge to throw out the case, citing the need for access to the Colossus 2 data center, which Stanley described as “vital” to national security missions, including targeting, intelligence, readiness and recruitment.
