Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 for the week of April 23, 2018, our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week.

The Weekly Top 3 is a regular segment on The Michael Dukes Show. The Show broadcasts on FacebookLive and via streaming audio from the Show’s website weekdays from 9-11am. I join Michael on the Show each Tuesday from 9:15-10am for a discussion between the two of us about the three issues.

This week we focus on (1) our analysis of how Alaska legislators are dodging personal responsibility for a proportionate share of the costs of government spending (at 3:19), (2) a question that is arising during the discussion of oil tax credit bonds: Why are at least some Alaska House R’s supporting a proposal that will make Alaska’s future spending problems even worse (at 27:13), and (3) a look at what’s going on with oil prices, and is the recent rise sustainable (48:21).

Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 for the week of April 2, 2018, our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week.

This week and for the foreseeable future we will be doing The Weekly Top 3 as a segment on The Michael Dukes Show. The Show broadcasts on FacebookLive and via streaming audio from the Show’s website weekdays from 9-11am. Instead of doing this as a monologue, I will be joining Michael on the Show each Tuesday from 9:15-10am for a discussion between the two of us about the three issues.

This week we focus on (1) the budget & the PFD (at 2:05), (2) oil tax credits & bonds (it’s more complicated than you think) (at 25:19), and (3) why we should take #AKLNG seriously (at 39:40). At the end of the show we also talk a bit about this year’s upcoming elections (at 43:05).
