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 April 3, 2023.
This week our top 3 issues are these: 1) the positive impact Rep. Ben Carpenter's proposed sales tax is having on the conversation about an Alaska fiscal solution (2:16); 2) how a vote yesterday on the House floor on the proposed budget serves to hilite the hypocrisy of some representatives who claim to be looking out for working Alaska families (20:07); and 3) how we believe the legislature should respond to the surprise runup in oil prices happening as a result of OPEC's decision over the weekend to reduce supply (29:00).
