The Weekly Top 3 (7.10.2023)
Why we are concerned DOR is becoming politicized, where the Alaska Policy Forcum has badly gone wrong & how we could make the already challenging Cook Inlet energy situation even worse
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 July 10, 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 are concerned that Commissioner Adam Crum is politicizing the Department of Revenue’s oil & gas tax function (1:58); 2) where we think Alaska Policy Forum has gone badly wrong in its assessment of this year’s state budget (19:48); and 3) how an already challenging Cook Inlet energy situation could be made even worse (28:42).
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.
