ADN by Tim Bradner.  The contentious vote on Ballot Measure 1, asking voters whether or not to repeal the oil production tax change made in 2013, is seven days away.

But since everyone else is blathering on about this, I want my final two cents’ worth.

Two arguments made for the repeal, and against the new tax law, really surprise me. One is that the change will cost revenues and rob future state budgets. The second is that SB 21 takes away incentives for oil exploration, which everyone supports (we need more oil in the pipeline).

Both are wrong. The reality is just the opposite.
