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 September 12, 2022.
This week we only cover the first two of our issues: 1) as the drumbeat starts for increasing the base student allocation (BSA), we discuss why we need to be talking about #WhoPays for any increase at the same time as we discuss whether and how much any increase should be (2:09), and 2) Michael and I debate whether the Governor should have vetoed the tax on e-cigarettes that overwhelmingly passed both bodies of the legislature this past session (17:04).
We took so long on the second, we rolled the third - our reaction to the appointment of Deven Mitchell as the interim Commissioner of Revenue - to next week.
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.
