Alaska Governor cut a deal for Alaska gas pipeline with the big three: BP, Conaco Philips & Ex-xon .... This is good for the Oil companies and bad for Alaskans.

The agreement was not shared with the Legislature or anyone. Alaska Legislature would be required to accept 'the deal' with no changes ...

On the last day of the 120 day Alaska State Legislative regular session, 2006, the court ordered Governor Murkowski to share 'his agreement' It is now on-line, all 900 pages of it

How do you think our Alaska Senators and Representatives feel having to go into special session & start off by listening to 10 days of lecture? ... and who knows how much more? (It's all televised on Gavel to Gavel) I think they should just go home and watch it on TV

Legal Counsel for Valdez said it is a pretty bad deal. That they even through in Vessel Tax that has to do with Valdez & the Ships that come and go with oil from the Alyeska terminal.

He commented that only arbitration would be allowed once the illegal agreement is accepted by the Legislature. That International law, not Alaska State law ... & no legal recourse through the courts.

How do people feel about this?
