No. You say our state is at a deficit and can't get rid of property tax, but you exempt industry from tax every chance you get, including selling our water. "45. Sales of frack water, when sold to a person or entity engaged in the exploration for, drilling of, or production of oil or gas, for use in hydraulic fracturing or other well completion or stimulation operations. This exemption shall apply only to sales of frack water for direct use in such operations and shall not apply to sales of water for any other purpose. For the purposes of this exemption, frack water means water, including fresh water, brackish water, or produced water, that is sold for use in hydraulic fracturing or other well completion or stimulation operations in connection with the exploration for, drilling of, or production of oil or gas.
