About this episode

This episode discusses the top three issues concerning Alaska's budget and revenue for the week of March 30, 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 March 30, 2026. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain why the projected FY27 oil revenue windfall seems to be burning a hole in legislators' pockets (2:16), 2) we explain why SB274, the Senate Finance Committee's proposed reduction of the POMV draw percentage, is addressing the wrong problem with the Permanent Fund (19:41), and 3) we explain that while the Administration and the AKLNG project have provided many numbers, they have failed to provide those necessary to explain why the proposed volumetric property tax rate is good for Alaskans (40:08).
