The Weekly Top 3 (6.8.2026)

About this episode

This episode discusses the top three issues concerning Alaskans for the week of June 8, 2026, including risks associated with the AKLNG project, insights from the ANWR lease sale, and candidates' awareness of economic signals from consumers.

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 June 8, 2026. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain why the potential of ending up stuck in Phase 1 of the #AKLNG project poses an unacceptable risk to Alaskans (2:11), 2) we discuss what the lack of interest in the ANWR lease sale last week tells us about the North Slope oil situation (22:02), and 3) we explain why we think most, if not all, of the candidates for Governor seem oblivious to the signals Alaska consumers are sending about their economic situation (38:47).
