The Weekly Top 3
The Weekly Top 3 (2.12.2024)
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 February 12, 2024.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) while we liked the LegFin presentation to House Ways & Means last Wednesday on its fiscal model as far as it went, we explain why there’s some important information critical to fashioning an overall fiscal plan still missing (2:13); 2) we explain why we have serious concerns that the Legislature is heading the wrong direction — and indeed, is starting to sound like Venezuela — in dealing with Cook Inlet gas (16:12); and 3) we explain why the current discussion about a General Obligation (GO) bond may be starting out as a good idea, but may quickly become bad (38:15).
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.
