  • How to keep current on Alaskan politics and happenings

    I utilize this Michael Dukes podcast to stay current on all the Alaska politics and happenings. Many of the state legislatures call in to discuss their opinions on active topics. I leave the show informed and having a greater understanding of the working of our governmental processes.

  • Rating

    Not took bad a show ,if you like politics. Totally conservative ,but he listens to both sides. Which is what we need. Biggest gripe is when he can’t decide to answer Facebook comments or run his call in show. We get to listen to grunts subtle laughs , while he decides who to answer. Rude actually.

Wednesday 6/17/26 | Rep Frank Thomaszewski | Candidate Michael Bowles
Q: What is the biggest issue facing Alaska's legislature this year besides the gas line?
Beyond the gas line, issues like the permanent fund dividend, defined benefits pensions, education funding, and a long-term fiscal plan dominate. Bowles emphasizes budgetary reform, accountability in schools, and seeking a sustainable fiscal strategy that reduces long-term liabilities.
Thursday 6/18/26 | Rep Will Stapp | OversightLIVE's Ben Carpenter
Q: What are the main risks if the project stalls in phase one?
There is a real risk that cost overruns could trigger higher property taxes and threaten the project's economics, potentially locking Alaska into expensive imports instead of domestic gas.
Thursday 6/18/26 | Rep Will Stapp | OversightLIVE's Ben Carpenter
Q: What was the biggest surprise in the House negotiations?
The willingness of the developer to make compromises and the level of bipartisanship in the House were surprising, as initial positions were much more rigid about getting a specific outcome.
