The oil companies are trying to protect their carpet bagging out of state workers (over 50% of the slope workers). The carpet baggers fly into and out of AK spending a couple of bucks at the "sleepy time" bar upstairs while sleeping waiting for their flights home or to the slope in nice recliner type chairs. To top it off, close to 50% of the out of state workers still get to claim residency so they get to dipnet, moose hunt etc. like they live here
