Each Tuesday morning at 7:20 am Alaska, I join KBYR AM750‘s The Michael Dukes Show to discuss the latest in Alaska oil and fiscal issues. This week we discuss what issues have stalled the #AKLeg in its efforts to complete the #AKBudget, how those issues are being resolved and in the meantime, where and what is driving the surprising level (given current oil prices) of continued activity in the #AKoil patch.  I join Michael at 14:20 into the segment.
