More legislative shenanigans by Al Carlson

[Hammersmith]

Why did they let him do it? Doesnt that have to be voted on?

Al is the house majority leader and the biggest bully in Bismarck. He's a slimy bastard who will do just about anything to destroy you if you stand up to him. His saving grace is that his intellect is nowhere near the level of his ego. He tries pushing things that he thinks will bring him to attention to the GOP Big Money and lead him to national office. But he keeps choosing the wrong things and they blow up in his face. Almost wish he'd win one of those fights and get the f--k out of our state.

And the legislators getting money from the oil companies for granting the cuts.

Yeah ok. Check out all tax rates etc in TX compared to ND and couple that with their existing well developed pipeline infrastructure. Watch were the investment money will go.....TX well before ND Wich will mean far less tax income, royalties etc for ND. It is a dynamic situation.

I still remember Al crying about how the evil ND residents were taking those poor defenseless little oil companies to the cleaners...

Do you have any idea how much money has been lost by oil companies in the last two years?

How much money did they make the decade before that? Oil is a bigtime boom/bust industry(especially in this state), taxes aren't going to change that reality.

Lost or just not making as much? They made a killing for way more then 2 years and I don't think they are hurting now either. I suppose you work in the industry or have mineral rights.

It's past time that the citizens of North Dakota bail them out.

Who cares? The oil isn't going anywhere and it sure as Hell won't be cheaper in the future. Let em drill in Texas. Eventually, they will be back.

Had the same tax rate since the 1980's. Was voted in by the people of ND not the legislature. We're still producing close to what it was several years ago. Price per barrel the real factor not tax rate. Just like every other business some oil companies are doing well & some not.
