  1. My annual 2 cents for what North Dakota needs to do to continue to grow the Oil market.

    1. Reduce taxes to match or beat Texas.

    2. Plan on filling Keystone, and upgraded Pipelines as the get built.

    3. Use the Oil fund at a set percentage to provide sweetheart deals for value added
    activities within the oil sector, fertilizer plants, electric flare generation.

    4. Reminder, our competition is the other states. Our only major negative is market location, so we need to compete on the other factors and bring market to us when possible.

    Have a good day, always enjoy reading what you have.

    1. Thank you for your kinds words. I could not agree more with your comments, especially with point four. There's much that could be said. I'm pretty much resigned to North Dakota to slow, steady progress but nothing huge in the near future.
