Reason #4 to Repeal the Giveaway


Investment Soared under ACES

Under our former tax system—Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share or ACES—oil industry investment in Alaska increased to all-time highs. Capital investment grew by nearly 70% in 7 years. This demonstates just how successful ACES was in spurring investment in Alaska’s oil patch.

SB 21 lacks the incentives ACES had to boost investment in Alaska. It gives away Alaskans’ wealth without any guarantee of increased investment, new jobs, or more oil in the pipeline. Simply put, it's a bad business deal.
