Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 - our look at the top 3 things on our mind here at Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets - for the week of June 22, 2026.

This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain why, by following a one-way fiscal policy that favors spending over revenues, Governor Dunleavy is making the state's already bad fiscal situation even worse (2:26), 2) we explain why we believe the Senate is right in proposing to fix Alaska's Subchapter S oil & gas loophole and what we will be looking for the Conference Committee to consider as it attempts to resolve the differences between the House and Senate on the issue (17:36), and 3) explain why we believe former Governor Walker's proposal to terminate the PFD is equivalent to Texas or Louisiana confiscating the royalties owed to private mineral interest owners in those states (40:05).

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.
