This week on Facing the Future we look at President Biden’s ambitious policy agenda with former Ambassador and New Hampshire Congressman Richard Swett. Then we go to Las Vegas with Concord Coalition Field Director Phil Smith and Jayce Farmer, professor of public policy at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, who uses Concord's Principles and Priorities budget exercise with his mid-career graduate students.

Facing The Future: Don't Keep it in Vegas

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 January 20, 2025.

This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss what Legislative Finance's "Overview of the Governor's Budget" says about the financial situation the Legislature is facing this coming year (2:14), 2) we ask what the heck Enstar is up to now in its ongoing efforts around Southcentral gas supplies (18:08), and 3) we discuss the selective political mutism of some when it comes time to address the adverse impact of PFD cuts on the economics of working-class Alaska families and even on Alaska entrepreneurship (38:44).
