The Weekly Top 3 (10.12.2026)
from The Weekly Top 3 Hosted by Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets
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 October 12, 2026. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain why, even with this year’s higher oil prices, the state isn’t on track to producing a budget “surplus,” and the problems created by thinking it is (2:22); 2) we explain why, to be successful, Alaskans must think in terms of developing a “comprehensive” fiscal plan rather than looking solely to oil, or any other component (including PFD cuts), to be the silver bullet (20:13); and 3) we explain why those, espeically self-proclaimed Republican “fiscal conservatives,” who claim their goal is to develop a “sustainable PFD” are being disingenuous (38:32).
