By Julie Saupe, Joe Gelione, Ryan Strong, Kathleen McArdle, Laile Fairbairn, Jenna Wright, Jacob Lyon, Brendyn Shiflea, Walter Featherly, Mike Robbins, Radhika Krishna, Michelle Klouda, Ethan Tyler, Dave Cavitt and Carol GoreIt is time to invest in Anchorage to make it the place we want it to be.
Here is our proposal: a temporary, year-round 3% sales tax dedicated to reducing property taxes and funding construction of a select list of resident-generated and voter-approved infrastructure projects without borrowing or bonding. To do this, we recommend directing two-thirds of revenue from the sales tax to dollar-for-dollar property tax relief, cutting the average homeowner’s annual property tax bill by about 20%.
