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 September 2, 2024.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain how some legislative candidates have become so focused on being pro-oil that they have lost focus on being pro-Alaskan (2:15); 2) on the opposite end of the political spectrum, we explain how some so-called progressive candidates have become so focused on increasing government spending they are pushing revenue approaches that hurt the very working Alaska families they claim to be protecting (18:19); and 3) we explain how those pushing Cook Inlet gas are increasingly ignoring market reality and, in the process, looking more and more like those who pushed the Alaska barley and dairy projects of the late 1970s and 1980s (36:31).
