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 February 14, 2022.This week our Top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss the significance of the ongoing increase in oil prices to the #AKbudget; at the levels projected by the futures market, the FY23 budget now balances at a full, statutory PFD (2:09); 2) but now that the budget is within range of a full PFD, we explore how various interests are emerging from the woodwork to spend that increased revenue elsewhere (18:12); and 3) we explain our significant concerns with the Governor’s recently proposed renewable energy program (27:28).
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.
