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 July 13, 2026.

This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we update our look at the Permanent Fund Corporation from the information contained in its most recent performance report (2:10), 2) we discuss how the state is making the economic situation faced by middle-income Alaska families even worse than that caused by the other disruptions in the economy (20:28), and 3) we explain why the response of some to the proposed S-corp fix — “we will get to that later” — is so disingenuous (38:19).

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.
