text: Don, Alaska is meeting it's obligations under the Tax Credit Incentive Program.  We are paying the minimum under the agreement.  What you and "Frank the bank" don't understand is that when you are in a cash flow bind, you pay the minimum until you weather the economic storm. Trouble is that the oil companies are used to Alaska paying it forward by paying off all oil credits immediately.  The agreements allow an annual minimum payment and that's what we are doing.
