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.

Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 — our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week — for the week of November 18, 2019.

This week our Top 3 issues are these: 1) what Bruce Tangeman's resignation as Revenue Comm'r likely means for fiscal policy (at 1:47), 2) why we won't get spending under control as long as we rely on PFDcuts (and why we will if we use a mechanism that taxes the Top20%) (20:39), and 3) why continued low bond yields are likely to have a big -- and adverse -- impact on Alaska (31:04).
