About this episode

The episode discusses the top three issues concerning Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets for the week of February 23, 2026.

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 February 23, 2026. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss the action taken by Senate Resources this past week on oil taxes and why we think its performative and unserious (2:17), 2) we explain how Rep. Galvin's proposed income tax becomes very regressive - indeed, much more than the Governor's proposed sales tax - when coupled with the additional steps required to close the full deficit (17:54), and 3) we explore why some seem to discard alternatives to PFD cuts even when, by raising susbstantial amounts from non-Alaskans, using the alternatives would leave much more money in the pockets of Alaska families and the Alaska economy (34:54).
