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 here at Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets - for the week of September 9, 2024.

This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain our frustration with the Governor's veto of the proposed rental car tax in the face of the state's ongoing $1.5 billion annual budget deficits (2:10); 2) we discuss some research that, contrary to what some think, concludes it's actually upper-income Alaska families who splurge most at PFD time (19:56); and 3) we discuss the role that fiscal policy can and should play in responding to Alaska's working-age migration issue (38:11).
