Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 — our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week — for the week of January 14, 2019.This week Michael and I start the segment with a brief discussion of the accreditation issues at UAA's College of Education (at 2:02) before turning to the Top 3.Once we do, the Top 3 are these: (1) our look out at the Alaska budget over the next 10 years, why we are coming to believe taxes are inevitable and why we favor flat taxes once we start down that road (5:35); (2) Journal of Commerce editor Andrew Jensen zeroes in on the broader consequences of HB 331 in a recent editorial and they aren't good (29:36); and (3) in her preview of the session, SFIN Co-Chair Natasha Von Imhof tells Alaskans how the Alaska Senate Majority envisions using ALASKANS' PFD's as sort of a forced "Pick, Click & Give" (40:54).
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. We 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.
