The Weekly Top 3 (6.8.2026)

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 June 8, 2026. The Weekly Top 3 is a regular weekly segment on The Michael Dukes Show. The Show broadcasts on Facebook and YouTubeLive as well as via streaming audio from the Show's website weekdays from 6–8am. I join Michael weekly in the first hour of Tuesday's show, from 6:10–7am, for a discussion between the two of us about our three issues. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain why the potential of ending up stuck in Phase 1 of the #AKLNG project poses an unacceptable risk to Alaskans (2:11), 2) we discuss what the lack of interest in the ANWR lease sale last week tells us about the North Slope oil situation (22:02), and 3) we explain why we think most, if not all, of the candidates for Governor seem oblivious to the signals Alaska consumers are sending about their economic situation (38:47).
