Allow Coastal States to collect 100% of the taxes from offshore energy production off each of their respective coastline

Created by K.M. on June 23, 2013

Of the tens of billions of dollars coastal states send to the Treasury from offshore energy production. A tiny 500 million dollars is split up between all Gulf States as part of an unfair and limited revenue-sharing program called GOMESA. By allowing states like Louisiana to keep all of the nearly 6 billion dollars we send to the treasury each year we can balance our budget, fix our schools, lower taxes, redevelop our infrastructure, and create JOBS! Decentralize taxation today!
