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 November 17, 2025.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss why revenues - where the money is supposed to come from - should be an equal part of the discussion of the Legislature's Task Force on Education Funding (2:15); 2) we explain why the Alaska fiscal policy debate sounds a lot like two kids fighting: it's your fault, no, it's your fault (19:24); and 3) we explain why the pre-session "priorities" discussions between local bodies and their legislators should be a two-way conversation, which includes a segment on "who pays" (37:51).
