Just got my slide milled. Window cuts have me feeling pretty high speed.

Can’t wait to run this bad boy on the range.

Gov. Dunleavy has scheduled a press conference today at 2:00 p.m. in Anchorage. He will be joined by U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum. A live stream will be available through our friends at Alaska's News Source. https://t.co/KmtpmIQFhA

BREAKING: @GovDunleavy’s people just delivered the veto of HB 78, the pension bill. #akleg

People said the North Slope was over, the big discoveries had been made, the basin was in decline. People were wrong.

There is nothing inherently wise about a crowd. No one ever built the future by following the herd. Bill Armstrong saw what so many others missed, believed in himself and his team, sold his vision to Santos (Oil Search) and Repsol, and today with their execution and commitment we celebrate the start of the long hoped for North Slope Renaissance.

There’s an important lesson in this milestone. Our best days can be ahead, but only if we have the courage and conviction to do what others say can’t be done. If we choose a timid path we will be guaranteed to live in someone else’s future; but if we are bold, we have the opportunity to build an incredible and prosperous future of our own choosing.

One of the arguments for not moving the Alaska Capitol that is in Juneau (Take a moment and look at a map or google "Molokai" could you imagine the State Capitol in Hawaii being on Molokai? that is the equivalent to the Alaska Capitol being in Juneau) The final argument is that is would cost too much, and to that I say "Too damn bad" Let's figure out a way to do this.

@alaskalandmine Lmao of course. Weak legislators don’t want to deal with anything difficult

@alaskalandmine Huge mining and oil companies are watching this sh!t show and thinking, why would I get involved with these idiot retards and their corrupt permitting under @GovDunleavy

[@AlaskaLNG @alaskalng]

The Anchorage Alaska LNG resolution recognizes that Cook Inlet decline threatens energy security & Alaska LNG promises "significant contributions annually" for state and local governments, the Permanent Fund, and other critical needs. #akleg https://t.co/Ei7vEYyQN7... See less

Thanks @JeffLandfield for a thoughtful discussion about how tax reform delivers reliable, affordable energy for Alaska. #akleg

The Pipeline We Can’t Escape

Damned If We Build It, Damned If We Don’t

For over twenty years the Alaska Legislature has done one thing better than anything else: delegate. They hand their constitutional duty, the duty to protect and manage our resources for we the people, off to agencies like DNR, AOGCC, and AGDC, or to outside “experts,” while they write vague statutes and call it oversight.

That’s not efficiency.
That’s abdication.

We elect them to Juneau to be the guardians of the Permanent Fund, the North Slope, Cook Inlet, the stranded gas under our feet, and the future of every Alaskan kid who still wants to stay here. Instead they delegate the real work, then wonder why the deals never deliver for regular Alaskans.

And when the negotiations get complicated? Out come the NDAs and non-disclosure agreements the same tools corporations use internally, now treated as normal operating procedure between public officials and private interests. The public gets the summary after the fact, if we’re lucky.

The result? We the people get the worst of both worlds.

Take the gasline.

We’ve been promised cheap, abundant Alaskan gas for our homes, our mines, our military bases, and our export future since the 1970s. Every governor, every session, every “this is the year” press release. Multiple proposals have come and gone, all while production on the North Slope slowly declines and TAPS throughput keeps dropping.

Now look at SB 280 in 2026. What started as Gov. Dunleavy’s narrow bill to replace the existing 20-mill property tax on the Alaska LNG pipeline and facilities with a simple, predictable 6-cent-per-thousand-cubic-feet volumetric tax (after a ramp-up period with no tax until the line hits 1 Bcf/day or 10 years) got hijacked in Senate Resources. The committee substitute added a new 30-cent-per-barrel tax on every barrel of oil produced in Alaska plus a 50% increase in the state’s minimum production tax (from the current 4% floor).

They even renamed it the “Supporting Alaska Gasline Act” while doing the exact opposite of supporting it.

Damned if we do: If these tax increases and the uncertainty they create kill or further delay the project, we lose the claim at any chance at lower in-state energy costs and a real supply of our own gas.

Damned if we don’t: If we accept whatever watered-down version survives, we still get screwed because we never demanded the first-take long-term offtake contracts that should have been locked in from the start.

Instead we will be securing 20–30 year deals with Asian buyers at prices that actually benefit Alaskans, we’ve let the negotiations drift for years while we argue about whose pocket the tax money goes into.

We refuse to put Alaskans first in the contract structure, because that would require real legislative oversight instead of delegation and NDAs.

And the deeper sickness, yes. This isn’t incompetence by accident. It’s a system that rewards delegation and punishes accountability. Industry lobbyists and NGOs on both sides shape the fine print. Agencies administer rules the Legislature barely reads.

And the public? We get the bill, higher energy costs, shrinking production, a pipeline that stays on paper for another decade, and a Permanent Fund that keeps getting raided.

Twenty-plus years of this and we’re still pretending the problem is “just one more bill” or “just one more tax tweak.” It’s not. It’s a fundamental failure of the people we elected to do the job they were sent to Juneau to do. All you have to do is manage our resources for us, in the open, with clear contracts that put Alaskans first, not corporate partners, not outside interests, not the next budget cycle.

Until we demand that the Legislature stop delegating their core responsibility and start treating NDAs between public officials and private entities as the accountability poison they are, we will keep getting the same results, big talk, small action, and

Alaskans left holding the empty pipe

How come the #AKLEG complained about bills being stuffed in the federal government and they turn around and do the same…

Hypocrites!!

[316L @AnonUser098]

Alaska Legislature is fucked. They’re useless. Can any of them think further than the present? #AKLEG

[Jeff Landfield @JeffLandfield]

People keep sending me this. I had nothing to do with it. Should I run for Anchorage mayor to reclaim our city by taking a zero tolerance stance on homelessness and vagrancy?

[316L @AnonUser098]

@JeffLandfield Yes please
