The Weekly Top 3 (11.20.2023)
The Admin's upcoming FY25 budget, the Juneau Economic Development Council sees the problem but is missing the cause & former Gov Murkowski adds to the case for restructuring the Permanent Fund Board
Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 — our look at the top 3 things on our mind here at Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets — for the week of November 20, 2023.
The Weekly Top 3 is a regular weekly segment on The Michael Dukes Show. The Show broadcasts on Facebook and YouTubeLive as well as via streaming audio from the Show’s website weekdays from 6–8am. I join Michael weekly in the first hour of Tuesday’s show, from 6:10–7am, for a discussion between the two of us about our three issues.
This week our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss what we will be looking for in the Administration’s upcoming FY25 budget & 10-year outlook (2:07); 2) we explain why, although Juneau appears to understand the consequences of the problem, they don’t seem to realize that they’re contributing significantly to the cause (17:26); and 3) we explain why former Gov Frank Murkowski’s recent op-ed provides additional support for restructuring the Permanent Fund Board (34:09).
The segment is at the YouTube clip above. For those who prefer the audio version, it is available on our Spotify and Soundcloud pages. Go to the Show’s Soundcloud page here for this and other complete podcasts of The Michael Dukes Show.
