Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 — our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week — for the week of August 5, 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) what we think of legislative leadership’s push for a PFD-only session (at 1:31); 2) oil prices take a dive – what does that mean for Alaska’s fiscal situation (21:33), and 3) the U is starting down the right road (29:50).
