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 31, 2023.
This week our top 3 issues are these: 1) using a recent letter to the editor by former ISER head Gunnar Knapp as a take-off point, we look at the various Alaska disconnects - and there are several (2:05); 2) we discuss the potential impact of a broadening dispute between the state and the Juneau school district over local contribution levels on the broader issue of state K-12 spending levels (19:00); and 3) we examine at the potential impact of inflation on construction costs in future capital budget debates (34:36).
