The Weekly Top 3 (4.15.2024)

What the debate on the House floor on HJR 7 told us about long-term fiscal policy, what our debate on the PFD told us about the status of that issue, and our upcoming debate on Cook Inlet gas

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 April 15, 2024.

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. I join Michael weekly in the first hour of Tuesday’s show, from 6:10–7am, for a discussion between the two of us about our three issues.

This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss what the debate last week on the House floor on HJR 7 tells us about future efforts to develop a durable fiscal policy for the state (2:15); 2) we explain what we believe our debate last week at the Alaska Common Ground event about the future of the PFD says about the current status of that discussion (14:06); and 3) we discuss what we anticipate the focus will be ofour discussion with John Sims of Enstar about Cook Inlet gas this coming Friday on an Alaska Landmine livestream (30:30).

The segment is at the YouTube clip above. For those who prefer the audio version, it is available on our Spotify and Soundcloud pages. Go to the Show’s Soundcloud page here for this and other complete podcasts of The Michael Dukes Show.
