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

La rose

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 February 3, 2025.

This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) while some want to focus only on the short-term cost, we explain why, looking down the road, HB69 is really a $1 billion appropriation (2:13), 2) we explain why, with the legislature backing out of the Cook Inlet debate, it's now up to the Regulatory Commission of Alaska to protect Alaska consumers (19:06), and 3) as the jockeying starts, we discuss what we think is the big thing on which potential candidates in the 2026 Governor's should be focusing on now (37:35).
