Long Beach representative Mark Hannaford says House amendments to the president's energy bill would boost annual revenues for Long Beach and California by 317 million by changing how the federal government taxes lower-tier oil. The proposal ties 1978 and 1979 taxes to oil grade and location, shifting from a fixed 3.50 per barrel to a formula based on price differences, while promising to keep consumer prices stable.
