The Weekly Top 3 (6.29.2026)
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 June 29, 2026. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we outline the state's deeply unsettling fiscal outlook, even if spending growth is held to inflation from FY26 onward (2:05), 2) we discuss why we continue to believe that the #akleg should pass the S-corp amendment and override the Governor's veto of the resulting bill if necessary (16:39), and 3) we explain why there are no Jay Hammond-like candidates in the race for Governor, and why that is troubling for Alaska (34:29). 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.
