We've been having this discussion. So I would say that I think we're in positive discussions with the executive, my office and myself, positive discussions with the legislature, key players in the legislature, and I'm optimistic that we can come to an agreement that gets enough votes to get around a bill and put this behind us so that we can continue with this momentum, get on to other work, and continue to build Alaska out. So I want to thank all of you for being part of this Gas Line Caucus meeting. I think it highlights the work that's been done, the issues that we have, but also the solutions that lie before us. And again, I think we're very close to an agreement.
Hilcorp senior vice president Luke Sargey told the Alaska Gas Line Caucus on Thursday that the company opposes a targeted income tax on Hilcorp, not the gas line, while Glenfarne and business groups urged lawmakers to pass the property tax bill without added taxes.

Enstar president John Sims told the Alaska Gas Line Caucus on Thursday the utility could be 3 billion cubic feet short this winter, equal to 18 midwinter days serving no customers. MEA's Tony Izzo said his gas is contracted for only 2 years and 7 months.
