Welcome to the January 29, 2018 edition of The Weekly Top 3, our quick, 15 minute review of the three biggest issues on which we are focusing as we pivot from the prior week to the one upcoming.This week we discuss the "American model" of oil leasing and how Alaska's departure from that (through PFD cuts) is deepening the recession for Alaskan residents, families and local economies, the issues surrounding the use of a percent of market value (POMV) approach to calculating distributions from the Permanent Fund and the reasons why the Permanent Fund should not invest in the #AKLNG project.
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.
