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 April 29, 2024.

This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss how the FY24 Supplemental and FY25 budgets are shaping up (2:18); 2) we explain the latest embarrassment involving the Permanent Fund Board and ask whether it will ever stop (17:14); and 3) we discuss what we believe is the worst idea yet for dealing with the so-called Cook Inlet gas crisis (33:40).

One additional note. Due to some technical difficulties encountered while recording, viewers may notice we go old school about a third of the way through today's podcast and shift over to the telephone. All of the content from the show is included except for the air diargrams Michael and I are prone to draw occasionally with our hands.
