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 May 16, 2022.
Because of the time we spent on them, this week we only cover the first two of our Top 3 issues: 1) Michael and I discuss a series of tweets from Rep. Ivy Spohnholz that says out loud what's been historically the silent part of the progressive position on PFD cuts (2:15); and 2) we take on yet another ADN editorial board op-ed pushing the Top20% position that PFD cuts - in other words, middle & lower income Alaska families - should bear the full weight of government spending (19:59).
We will pick up the third topic - the current status of Santos' Pikka project and whether there's a silent "but" sitting behind their recent positive statements - next week.
