The Weekly Top 3 (6.19.2023)
The real mega-dividends, our initial reaction to the Dunleavy veto message & why those calling out R #FedFiscal hypocrisy should also call out the similar fiscal hypocrisy of #akleg Ds
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 June 19, 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 the real mega-dividends being distributed from Permanent Fund earnings are far different — and far bigger — than most think (2:17); 2) why our initial reaction to the Dunleavy veto message isn’t very positive (20:31); and 3) why those Alaskans who are correctly calling out Republican fiscal hypocrisy at the federal level should also call out the similar fiscal hypocrisy of Democrats at the state level (29:14).
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.
