3rd Special Session on Pipeline. 2 Part Proposal Not Pleasing Lawmakers.

Alaska is in a 3rd special session concerning a TransCanada natural gas pipeline.

Besides a rainy Juneau, lawmakers will be greeted by a 2 prong proposal from the Governor:

• Alaska should buy out TransCanada and build the pipeline itself. The Governor will ask for $150M and that Alaska assume a greater risk in the pipeline.
• A new tax on natural gas reserves still in the ground on the North Slope. The tax would only be triggered if an oil company delayed the project.
