The Weekly Top 3 (3.10.2025)

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 March 10, 2025. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we review a recent, balanced look by the Alaska Beacon’s James Brooks at Alaska’s budget situation and the battle over #WhoPays (2:03); 2) we discuss the full on raid on the Permanent Fund corpus by the Senate Majority and how it’s being fueled by a poorly invested Permanent Fund (17:56); and 3) we explain how the #AKLNG project always looks great to newcomers … until they start looking under the hood at the economics (38:35). 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.
