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 May 18, 2026. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss the effort yesterday by some to use the gasline bill permanently to divert revenues to their favored spending categories, and why we continue to be concerned about the potential for similar efforts in the future, even though yesterday's effort failed (2:11), 2) we explain what, in the euphoria about first oil, many are forgetting about the state revenue side of Pikka, Willow, and other new developments (17:40), and 3) we discuss where the conference report puts the FY27 budget (35:27).
