Palin and Alaska Governor at odds over dueling oil tax laws on primary ballot

[J_J_]

Palin, who hiked taxes on the state’s oil producers in 2007 with Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share, reminds listeners in a chatty 18-minute video on her new TV channel not to be “suckered” “bamboozled” and “buffaloed” by the likes of ExxonMobil and other oil companies yet again.

In her video -- “Securing Alaska’s Future to Secure Our Nation” -- Palin recounts the corruption among state lawmakers and oilfield services company VECO that led to the passage of ACES. She said experts hired by the state during her administration reported that Alaska had been giving away its resources for years and had been taken advantage of by the oil industry.

Without naming names, Palin says an “oil-friendly administration” and lawmakers, some employed by Big Oil, helped pass SB 21. “Some were workers for Big Oil, some were lobbyists -- that’s what they’d done,” Palin said. Parnell, who introduced SB 21, served as a lobbyist for ConocoPhillips before he became Palin’s running mate in 2006. Meyer and fellow Republican Sen. Peter Micciche played key roles voting for SB 21, which passed the Senate by a single vote and went into effect this year. Both are employed by Conoco, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the law.

“Are we really going to be suckered again by Big Oil and some of the crony capitalists with their hands in all this?” Palin asks.
