The Weekly Top 3 (7.22.2024)

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 July 22, 2024. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain how the term “surplus” has become another step in the Orwellianization of Alaska budget terms (2:05); 2) we discuss what is driving what some are now saying is the long-term outmigration of working Alaska families and why the Alaska “anomaly” isn’t really an anomaly after all (20:09); and 3) we ask (and answer) whether the reappointment of Ethan Schutt to the Permanent Fund Board is a positive, negative, or a status quo development (38:04). 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.
