Senate Holds Firm on Pipeline Tax | Anchorage News

Alaska’s Senate is standing firm against a big natural gas pipeline tax break, pushing for a compromise that guarantees state revenue—despite pressure from the governor and oil industry. With Governor Dunleavy’s strong support for the project, critics argue his veto history shows a lack of bipartisan cooperation, suggesting a future governor might negotiate better terms. The project’s backer, Glenfarne, has delayed its decision, tying it to the current administration’s backing. The Senate’s stance aims to prevent past mistakes—where companies avoided taxes and states got little in return—by ensuring Alaska doesn’t hand over too much upfront. This showdown could reshape how Alaska balances industry needs with long-term fiscal responsibility. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
