Voter, maybe you've never seen first hand the relationship Jansen and Tillerson (CEO of Exxon) have.  You would not see it in Alaska.  You'd have to travel a bit internationally to see it first hand.

The fact is Alaska is being bankrupted by the theft of our oil- presently $9.5 billion per year- free of any severance tax.  The $3.5 billion dollar deficit Alaska has will bankrupt our state as soon as the savings are gone.  A substantial part of that deficit is the $700 million in corporate welfare Alaskans will be giving Exxon, BP, and COP.

The business Exxon throws Lynden is enormously valuable. 

Quid pro quo.

Voters know NOT to trust Exxon.  That is why Big Oil brings in surrogates to do the dirty work of misleading voters and trashing good Alaskans running for office.
