The Weekly Top 3 (2.28.2022)
Why the Spring F'cast is going to make a big difference, the opportunities for Alaska as oil & other resource co's w/draw from Russia & our growing frustration w/ LegFin & #AKmedia
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 February 28, 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 upcoming Spring Revenue Forecast and why we think the Administration should release it sooner than later (2:10); 2) we explain the opportunities the withdrawal from Russia of BP, other oil & gas companies and resource companies in general may create for Alaska (13:08); and 3) we discuss our growing frustration with LegFin and the Alaska media over their lack of transparency about more equitable and lower impact alternatives to PFD cuts (26:22).
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.
