  • 88-49-141 Barry Jackson Jeff Kennedy, Moderator Fairbanks
    88-49-141 Barry Jackson Jeff Kennedy, moderator Fairbanks, Alaska Series: Potlatch series Mossy Davidson song Jeff Kennedy said Barry Jackson said the 1.9 million dollars that Congress arbitrarily assigned has short changed the forty or so lawyers who worked on the Land Claims Bill. He charged that Congress made no effort to evaluate the lawyer’s services. He doubts it would be practical to solve the problem with new legislation or adding another amendment to the Land Claims Act. Tlingit lawyer Fred Paul who first filed the claim is now representing Jackson. Under the Tucker Act attorneys had to file within six years of the passage of the Land Claims Act to receive any right to sue. Jackson believes no other lawyers will file. He received 115,000 dollars, but said his services were worth up to half a million dollars. He is not asking for any specific amount in his lawsuit. Jackson will talk about his involvement in the Land Claims Settlement. Jackson said he became involved in the Settlement Act in 1965. He was practicing law in Fairbanks as a solo practitioner. He had been the city attorney for about three and a half years. One day several Natives from the village of Minto came into his office with William Byler. Byler was the executive officer for the Association on American Indian Affairs. They do lobbying. They asked him to represent the village of Minto. Minto had been faced with the fact that the state was selecting land from Minto Flats. A protest to the state selections had been filed by Ted Stevens when he had been in private practice, but Stevens was no longer available.

  • Alaska's Oil Production Tax: a Brief History
    Alaska’s Oil Production Tax: A Brief History By Lisa Weissler Abstract: For decades, Alaska’s politicians and the oil industry have sparred over the state’s tax on its oil resources. This paper examines newspaper accounts, legislative history, and Alaska history books to construct a narrative of the people and politics involved in the state’s long and contentious oil tax debate – a debate that continues in the halls of Alaska’s capitol today. The history of oil in Alaska is the latest chapter in the saga of natural resource exploitation that began long before the United States purchased Alaska from Russia. First came the Russian fur traders who decimated wildlife populations, oppressed Alaska Natives, and left little of lasting value. After the 1867 purchase of the territory by the U.S., individuals and corporations mined, harvested, fished, and trapped without being burdened by much in the way of taxation. The result was a territory rich in resources yet still lacking the funds for its own economic development. Upon assuming his appointment as Alaska’s territorial governor in 1939, Ernest Gruening found Alaska to be a land of both promise and problems. The promise lay in the people, the land and the territory’s abundant natural resources. Among the territory’s problems was its lack of taxation that would capture economic benefit from resource extraction. Gruening made it his mission to establish a tax system that would provide revenue for the improvement and welfare of the territory. For the next nine years, outside interests, primarily salmon canning and mining companies, exerted enough influence on territorial legislators to succeed in defeating every major tax measure that Gruening put forward.
