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 January 13, 2025.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss whether the legislature should fund the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation's "Hail Mary" to keep the #AKLNG project alive for yet another year (2:20), 2) to complement the Department of Labor's recent analysis of Alaska's population, we look at IRS data to examine where the drain in Alaska's working age population is by income bracket (18:54), and 3) we explain why the energy "royalty relief" touted by some as a solution to the Cook Inlet gas situation is, in fact, an unnecessary subsidy being taken out of the pockets of middle & lower-income Alaska families statewide (37:52).
