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 Chris Story, who was sitting in for Michael, and I discuss whether the #PFDcut is the right step for the #AKecon & the background, significance and where things go from here as a result of the state’s rejection of the Prudhoe Bay Plan of Development.  I join Chris at 14:00 into the segment.

Usually 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. Yesterday, however, the Governor announced his #AKbudget vetoes for the year, which included for the first time in the state’s history a line item veto of the PFD, capping this year’s otherwise projected $2000+ dividend at $1000.

In response, Michael asked me to join the show for a second time this week to discuss the PFD cut, the overall budget and their impact on the overall Alaska economy and Alaskans. I join Michael at 13:20 into the segment.

Mark Neuman on the #AKbudget, my thoughts on how we should be looking at the proposed #PFDcut from an overall #AKecon perspective, and whether its time to start panicking about the future of the #AKLNG project. I join Michael right at the top (8am) of the segment.

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 whether those opposing PFD cuts are a “screaming minority” as one commentator (who also happens to be an Alaska Gasline Development Corporation board member) said yesterday or is something else going on (short answer, there is), and rather than resisted, is the upcoming Special Session something that should be viewed instead as an opportunity to reduce spending more. I join Michael at 16:00 into the segment.
