The Weekly Top 3 (1.9.2023)
The ADN editorial board tries to set a trap for the PFD, the ADN news page reports only half of the K-12 story & how we should resolve ANS facility sharing
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 January 9, 2022.
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 6:25–7am, for a discussion between the two of us about our three issues.
This week our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss the ADN editorial board’s latest effort to lay a trap for the PFD (2:00), 2) we explain why the ADN news page is only reporting half the story on K-12 spending (18:23), and 3) we explain why — and how — disputes among North Slope producers over facility sharing should be resolved permanently (27:19).
The segment is at the YouTube clip above. For those that prefer the audio version, it is available both on our Spotify and Soundcloud pages. For this and other complete podcasts of The Michael Dukes Show, go to the Show’s Soundcloud page here.
