The Weekly Top 3 (5.12.2025)

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 May 12, 2025. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain why Alaska’s current fiscal dilemma reminds us of a game of chicken and what it will take to resolve it (2:04); 2) we discuss what role the Governor should play in resolving the dilemma and why Governor Dunleavy’s actions are lacking (18:34); and 3) we discuss how the failure to resolve the dilemma is adversely affecting Alaska’s private sector business climate and confidence level (38:11). 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.
