About this episode

The episode discusses the top three issues concerning Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets for the week of April 27, 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 27, 2026. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain why we believe the Governor should veto, and the Legislature should uphold his veto of the defined benefits bill, assuming it passes the Legislature in the first go round (2:24), 2) we discuss both the signals the feds are sending on the LNG project and what federal involvement in that project would mean for the state (19:22), and 3) we discuss the role we believe fiscal policy should be playing in this year's Governor's race, and our disappointment over why it isn't (38:55). And finally, a scheduling note. We will be off for the next two weeks, traveling. We will return with the next edition of The Weekly Top 3 on Tuesday, May 19th.
