On Friday, Gov. Mike Dunleavy unveiled new legislation that he says restructures Alaska’s tax laws to help make the Alaska LNG megaproject more economic as it awaits a final investment decision. Unlike existing state law, the new structure would levy a tax that’s based on the volume of natural gas moving through a pipeline. That’s instead of a tax on the assessed value of the pipeline itself.
Dunleavy spoke with KDLL one-on-one the day the legislation was introduced.
