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 15, 2023.
This week our top 3 issues are these: 1) the one constant in this year's budget (spoiler alert: it's "spend, but don't tax me, don't tax you, tax middle & lower income Alaska families instead …")(2:11); 2) how the ADN editorial board (what we sometimes refer to as the Binkley Family Blog) is misquoting former Governor Hammond in a recent op-ed (20:36); and 3) Rep. Zack Fields' reveal that the size of this year's budget is only the "first step" to even bigger spending ahead (30:52).
