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 9, 2024.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain our frustration with the Governor's veto of the proposed rental car tax in the face of the state's ongoing $1.5 billion annual budget deficits (2:10); 2) we discuss some research that, contrary to what some think, concludes it's actually upper-income Alaska families who splurge most at PFD time (19:56); and 3) we discuss the role that fiscal policy can and should play in responding to Alaska's working-age migration issue (38:11).
