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 9, 2026. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain how SB 274 - the Senate Finance Committee's proposal to reduce the level of the annual POMV draw from the Permanent Fund - is applying the wrong lesson taken from the performance of the Permanent Fund Corporation (2:18), 2) we discuss whether the market dynamics behind the #AKLNG project have changed as a result of the effects of the military operation in Iran (19:24), and 3) we explain why the legislature should ignore the oil price derived from the Spring Revenue Forecast when setting the FY27 budget and instead use the rolling 10-year average price (38:41).
