The Weekly Top 3 (7.22.2019)

Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 — our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week — for the week of July 22, 2019.

The Weekly Top 3 is a regular weekly segment on The Michael Dukes Show. The Show broadcasts on FacebookLive and via streaming audio from the Show’s website weekdays from 6-8am. I join Michael each week on Tuesday’s show, from 6:20-7am, for a discussion between the two of us about the three issues.

This week our Top 3 are these: 1) the University starts moving beyond the denial phase (at 1:37); 2) signs that the #akleg may be working toward a budget deal, but what happens if they don’t (12:21), and 3) how do we avoid repeating Groundhog Day on the PFD (23:04).
