Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 - our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week - for the week of March 15, 2021.This week our Top 3 issues are these : 1) how we believe the legislature should address the federal money coming to the state under the American Relief Plan (1:52); 2) why we think the House Minority's "Declaration of Guiding Principles" prioritizes the Top20% over middle & lower income Alaska families (11:54); and 3) we look back at some historical numbers to see if we can draw any parallels for making - and sustaining - deeper cuts in state spending (21:34).

The Weekly Top 3 is a regular weekly segment on The Michael Dukes Show. The Show broadcasts on Facebook and YouTubeLive as well as via streaming audio from the Show’s website weekdays from 6–8am. We join Michael weekly in the first hour of Tuesday’s show, from 6:25–7am, for a discussion between the two of us about our three issues.
