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 how to resolve the oil tax credit issue that confronts the #AKLeg, and calls by some so-called “conservatives” (but really just another group of those proposing to push the costs of past mistakes to Alaskans a different way) to cut the #PFD.  I join Michael at 14:50 into 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.

It was a busy week with Michael Dukes; we did two sessions.

As regular readers will know, 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, however, Michael and I also did a second show for podcast only, the first in a series Michael will doing about various topics called “The Michael Dukes Show Unplugged”.

This week’s “Unplugged” show is an uninterrupted (i.e., no breaks) hour that steps back from the normal format and plunges a bit deeper into Alaska’s current fiscal situation than we normally are able to accomplish in a regular show format.  It is designed for those in the Administration and Legislature looking for a one-stop opportunity to catch up with what we and others have been talking about, as well as others looking for a way to catch up on the current situation as we round the final turn into the home stretch of this year’s legislative session.  You can listen to it by clicking on the widget below, or by going here.

We also did the regular show on Tuesday. This week we discuss whether ‪#‎AKLeg‬ spending is going to end up topping $4.5B this session and what is coming in the Senate’s revenue bill? (I join Michael at 13:45 into 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 a new proposal filed yesterday to impose 35% tax on the #PFD, and whether legislators are coming up short in cutting the #AKbudget down to the target of $4.5 billion in spending, and if they are, why? I join Michael at 14:55 into the segment.

Each Tuesday morning, now 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 the additional spending “cuts” announced yesterday by Senate Finance, the coming House Finance debate on oil tax credits, and an important ‪op-ed on the structure of the Permanent Fund Dividend.  We also “name names” of those helping deal with the state’s fiscal situation and some not. I join Michael at 14:20 into the segment.  (Beginning with this week’s segment, the show has gone to full 15 minute talk segments to permit a deeper dive into each topic.  I will join at 7:20 am and continue up until the 8:00 am break.)

Each Tuesday morning at 7:15 am Alaska I join KBYR AM750‘s The Michael Dukes Show to discuss the latest in Alaska oil and fiscal issues.

For those interested in more, during the week I discussed the topic for a couple of segments also as I filled in as guest host on the Tom Anderson Show.  The podcast of the show is here.  The segments focused on the #AKbudget begin at 22:00 into the show.
