About this episode

The episode discusses the top three issues concerning Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets for the week of April 13, 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 April 13, 2026. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain why the way the legislative R's are handling the PFD debate is a certain loser, and consider whether that is, in fact, their goal (2:10), 2) we explain why we believe SJR 29, the proposed Constitutional amendment to establish a constitutionally dedicated education fund, will create a giant sucking sound within the Alaska budget if enacted(19:52), and 3) we examine who exactly it is the Legislature is trying to protect from paying taxes (39:47).
