ANWR and money:
2008 September 2
In Alaskan politics, you have to remember that the main support of the state revenue system is the tax-on-oil-stuff coming out of the north slope…and that all Alaskans get a cut back from the state of around $1700 a year in ‘reverse taxes’. So EVERYONE supports drilling in ANWR in Alaskan politics. Otherwise, they’d have to pay for the state government.
Local towns get their money from some sales or property taxes. If you want to see stuff on ‘cranky’, Google up “property tax” or “sales tax” in the Alaskan newspapers. And yes, there are bonds.
