The major oil companies spent more than a million dollars lobbying the Legislature in hopes of changing Alaska’s oil-tax regime. What did they get for their money? Fairbanks played host to Gov. Sean Parnell this week. He was promoting natural gas and economic development. What does he have in mind?
