Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 - our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week - for the week of August 16, 2021.
This week our Top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss a weekend op-ed by the Anchorage Daily News editorial board, which completely ignores #WhoPays, the issue that ISER Head Ralph Townsend told the legislature's Fiscal Policy Working Group earlier this month is the "single most important" fiscal issue (2:03); 2) we discuss the Commissioner of Revenue's appearance before the Working Group, in which the Administration appears to join in in others' efforts to push the costs of government off on middle & lower income Alaska families(13:27); and 3) we explain our assessment of the potential, long term impact of a recent superior court decision on the so-called "reverse sweep" (25:55).
