KUDOS TO ALASKA’S DEPARTMENT OF LAW
For better or worse, Proposition 2 was certified March 6th, for the general election ballot on November 7th. Proposition 2 is a highly controversial initiative that proposes to tax the oil producers for “stranded” natural gas if they fail to build a gas pipeline or fail to abandon their rights to the gas.
Now we learn that one of the lease holders, Exxon Mobil Corporation, wrote a secret letter to Governor Murkowski asking him to decertify the initiative and remove it from the ballot. The Exxon Mobil e-mail stated "we request that it not be shared outside the Administration in order to preserve its confidentiality and privilege." Wow!
Congratulations to Alaska’s Department of Law which, in a manner of speaking, told Exxon to shove it! Applause please.
How dare Exxon attempt to meddle with Alaska’s initiative process! It’s behind-the-scenes stuff like this that contributes to a climate of distrust.
