The state DNR DOG offers millions of acres on hundreds of oil & gas leases  for sale in a sealed bid auction every year! 

The state can't attract bidders with its recent increase in lease rentals terms of 8,000% but they will not lower the cost! It makes no sense!

The state uses this money to pay for things like homeless shelters but with oil prices crashing and no one bidding in the Beaufort Sea Lease last November, now the state is running out of money!  So why not lower these 8,000% increases?

 It seems wrong but with oil prices so low and no oil companies bidding in last years sale the state had an idea to keep the increase on the rentals to over 8,000% but even with these increase in cost the state still could not attract bidders in this year's Cook Inlet Lease sale! Why maybe they should lower cost, right?

Alaska's oil and gas policies of increasing rentals by Department of Natural Resources of over 8,000% when no one bids is sad! DNR DOG should go back to the old prices now
