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 December 15, 2025.
For those who follow us, this is our last podcast for 2025. After taking a couple of weeks off for the holidays, we will return on January 6, 2026.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain what the Department of Revenue's Fall Revenue Forecast tells us about state petroleum revenues (2:07), 2) we explain what OMB's 10-year forecast tells us about the outlines of a potential solution to the state's never-ending fiscal crises (17:08), and 3) in our wrap-up to this, our last show of 2025, we do our annual "Christmas Top 3" (35:43).
