But this system may be failing. The state Tax Commission has 13 auditors to check the state’s 40,000 oil and gas leases. The only way the commission has to determine the amount of oil and gas sold is through re cords provided by the buyers, one tax official said. “As bad as it sounds, I think that would be close to right,” said Steve Martin, deputy dire ctor of the agency’s gross pro duction tax division. Two years ago, the Legisla ture changed the law to elimin ate a requirement that produc ers report the amount pro duced, he said. The problem comes if a pro ducer and a buyer report a lesser amount of oil than was actually produced, he said. Martin said his office is not able to estimate how much tax money the state may be losing due to unreported sales of oil and gas, but “if it’s 1 percent it might be cost justifiable to moni tor individual wells,” he said.

We would read Genesis — we be lieve that’s where it happened.” Gowdey was one of 12 Amer icans on an expedition led by former astronaut and damentaiist Christian Irwin of Colorado S (k>lo.
