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 8, 2025.

This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we discuss Sen. Robb Myers recent op-ed in the Alaska Landmine, which explains that the proposal to change the current two-account Permanent Fund system to a one-account system is really about protecing state revenues, not protecting the Permanent Fund (2:24); 2) we dive into the state's new fiscal analysis of the Pikka oil field and what the numbers are telling us about SB 21 (19:21); and 3) we explain how, by not looking at the numbers, Must Read Alaska is missing the big story behind the performance of the Permanent Fund Corporation (39:14).
