I want to make mention of the work that you've done here. Thank you very much, Mr. Alper. And also note that it's tricky for us as legislators wanting to make sure that our fiduciary duty is being done when we can't get in there into every confidential conversation and deal up until a certain point. I'm sure we'll learn much more at FID, but it was also enlightening for me to learn from AGDC, the work that they have pulled together to help us better understand how they are at the table as one of Alaska's arms, if you will. And they did share with us publicly their— the Alaska Advantage principles.
The House Finance Committee voted 11-0 Wednesday to advance a major natural gas pipeline bill after adopting amendments that restructure municipal taxes and increase community impact aid to $80 million.

The Alaska House Finance Committee voted 7-4 Wednesday to strip municipalities of their ability to negotiate separate tax structures for the proposed gas pipeline. The change drew opposition from committee leadership despite passing. North Slope Borough officials said they wanted to keep control over resources in their region.
