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 February 14, 2022.
This week our Top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss the significance of the ongoing increase in oil prices to the #AKbudget; at the levels projected by the futures market, the FY23 budget now balances at a full, statutory PFD (2:09); 2) but now that the budget is within range of a full PFD, we explore how various interests are emerging from the woodwork to spend that increased revenue elsewhere (18:12); and 3) we explain our significant concerns with the Governor’s recently proposed renewable energy program (27:28).
