The Weekly Top 3 (8.23.2021)
Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 — our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week — for the week of August 23, 2021.
The Weekly Top 3 is a regular weekly segment on The Michael Dukes Show. The Show broadcasts on FacebookLive and via streaming audio from the Show’s website weekdays from 6–8am. I join Michael each week on Tuesday’s show, from 6:20–7am, for a discussion between the two of us about the three issues.
This week our Top 3 issues are these: 1) we do some numbers that show the extent of the #AKfiscal challenge, why the legislature has resorted to bigger and bigger PFDcuts and why that will continue without substitute revenues (2:01); 2) we explain why the US District Court’s decision on Conoco’s Willow project potentially creates some huge issues for Alaska (21:07); and 3) we discuss some insight we have gained this past week into why some D’s — who we would think would support PFDs — instead are pushing PFDcuts (29:21).
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.
