The Weekly Top 3 (4.17.2023)
Some don’t comprehend the depth of Alaska’s fiscal hole, the dynamics at play in finalizing the budget & SB107 is now about burying the PFD, not offering a path to POMV 50/50
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 April 17, 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 6:25–7am, for a discussion between the two of us about our three issues.
This week our top 3 issues are these: 1) why we believe some don’t comprehend the depth of Alaska’s fiscal hole (2:01); 2) now that the House has passed its version, the dynamics at work in finalizing this year’s budget (28:28); and 3) why Sen. Stedman’s amendment yesterday to SB107 isn’t about paying for POMV 50/50; it’s about burying the PFD (38:29).
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.
