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 6, 2026.

This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss a recent example of where the K-12 industry’s expectations have become unreasonable (2:00), 2) we explain why Rep. Schwanke is right about a lot of things, but is very wrong when it comes to the proposed S-corp provision (17:51), and 3) we explain why Larry Persily (and others) must not be listening to themselves when they talk about tax fairness (36:29).

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.
