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 26, 2025.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we walk through the sources and uses of funds in the FY26 budget, and examine who is bearing the burden created by using PFD cuts to provide nearly a third of the revenues (2:14); 2) we explain how a recent op-ed from Anna MacKinnon on the Permanent Fund picks up from where she left off when she left the Senate: finding ways to fund spending while protecting the Top20% & #OilCos from paying for it (18:50); and 3) we discuss how we could avoid the Alaska budget being so impacted by swings in oil prices (36:39).
