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 19, 2026.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain what we will be looking for in the Governor's proposed fiscal plan he is preparing to roll out as part of his State of the State address Thursday (2:12), 2) we explain why this year's version of Jansen & Schierhorn's annual "don't change SB21" op-ed is missing a paragraph, and discuss why the absence is hugely meaningful (18:20), and 3) we discuss our thoughts about how the Legislature should construct a government spending cap; it is a much different approach than how the current spending caps are constructed (37:00).
