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 January 27, 2025.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) Senator Dunbar asks the right question about ENSTAR’s most recent Cook Inlet proposal, and by the way, where are Chugach, MEA … and Marathon (2:11), 2) Alaska is already sitting in a massive fiscal hole, but rather than working to repair it, the Alaska House Majority is proposing to make it even deeper (16:53), and 3) we explain the real Permanent Fund crisis — the Permanent Fund Corporation is so mismanaging the Fund that it isn’t earning enough even to cover the POMV draw (37:31).
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.
