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 July 22, 2024.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain how the term "surplus" has become another step in the Orwellianization of Alaska budget terms (2:05); 2) we discuss what is driving what some are now saying is the long-term outmigration of working Alaska families and why the Alaska "anomaly" isn't really an anomaly after all (20:09); and 3) we ask (and answer) whether the reappointment of Ethan Schutt to the Permanent Fund Board is a positive, negative, or a status quo development (38:04).
