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 6, 2025, our first of the new year.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we examine the effort by some, rather than focus on the endless string of deficits he is leaving behind, to reshape the “Dunleavy legacy” into one of even greater government spending (2:17), 2) we explain how, as the clock continues to run down, all of the posturing and discussion around Cook Inlet gas is getting us nowhere closer to a real solution (15:58), and 3) we discuss how, rather than shrinking in the face of budget reality, the proposed spending list for the coming legislature is actually growing (35:27).
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.
