On McFeely:
-Its not giving away our oil tax money to the oil companies. The oil companies made the money originally and its the oil companies' money. The state took it from the oil companies. The state is just going to take less of it with this bill.
-Its not the state's job to decide how much money the oil companies make.
-Carlson's argument is a good one. ND does have too much money. State spending has exploded over the last number of years and its wasteful spending.
-Perhaps some oil companies will long term decide become ND oil companies. What difference does it make where the oil companies take the money. Right now most of the oil companies are investing a substantial amount of the money right here in ND.
-There is lots of competition out there for ND. Its all over.
-Its not giving it to the oil boys. Its letting them keep what they worked hard to earn.
