Description

Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 - our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week - for the week of March 8, 2021.This week at Michael's request our Top 3 becomes a Top 4. These are the issues : 1) LegFin's presentation to the Senate Finance Committee last week was great as far as it went, but it had one huge hole (2:12); 2) an op-ed piece in Republican mouthpiece MustRead Alaska signals a deepening split among fiscal conservatives (18:19); 3) why the latest round of federal relief eliminates the need for Gov Dunleavy's supplemental PFD (30:58); and 4) we explain where the spending cuts would need to be made if the Governor (or legislature) was going to try to balance the budget entirely, or even mostly, through "cuts only" (35:20).

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.
