The Taxes & Fund Bill
New taxes on oil and gas fund affordable heating
Oil & Gas Property Tax; Muni Tax; Agdc
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would tax oil and gas companies and use the money to create a fund that helps Alaskans pay for heating.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Alaskans could see lower heating bills if the fund works, but oil and gas firms may raise prices to cover the new tax, so voters should watch the debate.
