The Weekly Top 3 (9.28.2026)
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 September 21, 2026. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) using the Legislative Finance Division’s “swoop” chart as a base, we examine the scale of the reduction in UGF revenues being created by tax expenditures (2:10), 2) we do some dollar tracing to determine in whose pockets the dollars being diverted from middle income Alaska households through PFD cuts are ending up (21:08), and 3) we discuss the push for increased state spending on childcare, whose pockets the dollars are likely to come from and a new study that helps explain the impact of taking those dollars from middle-income households (39:53).
