Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 for the week of May 21, 2018, our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week.This week we focus on (1)what drove the $1+B increase--yes, increase--in state spending this session (at 3:08), (2) the fiscal story the #AKSen keeps telling itself (in hopes that others buy it) (at 23:00), and (3) what may already be the best campaign ad we will see this season (at 38:28).

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.
