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 January 5, 2026.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss what we view as the single most important fiscal issue facing the legislature this coming session (2:05), 2) we discuss what the impact of a potential new surge in Venezuelean oil development could have on Alaska (18:42), and 3) we explain how a recent report from the Permanent Fund Corporation itself demonstrates that its Board continues to overspend and underperform (36:13).
The Weekly Top 3 is a regular weekly segment on The Michael Dukes Show. The Show broadcasts on Facebook and YouTubeLive as well as via streaming audio from the Show’s website weekdays from 6–8am. We join Michael weekly in the first hour of Tuesday’s show, from 6:25–7am, for a discussion between the two of us about our three issues.
