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 27, 2023.
This week our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain how Permanent Fund earnings are being shifted from mid & lower income #AKfams to the Top20% and why the amount is staggering (1:54), 2) we discuss how Rep. Zack Fields is proposing to shift even more (12:55), and 3) we explain how some producers in the Cook Inlet are coming for even more state money (30:33).
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.
