Yah, way to go Anchorage property tax payer's, for staying home and/or voting for the far left. Maybe some of you folks can afford the tax increase(s) we are are about to experience. That and the political juggernaut that is going to be forced down everyone's throat whether you like it or not. The real shame about the whole thing is; just try to go and sell your home to move to an area that is more tax friendly or not so crime ridden. We pay $500 a month now, for really crappy services. (AKA Snow Removal). At what point does the property tax added on to a mortgage prevent and or negate the sale of one's home? Someday, we will find out. And what recourse does one have? Hire a lawyer and fight the lawyers whose salaries we pay now via taxes? Doesn't make sense, does it? We are losing our liberties one step at a time. The voters overwhelmingly voted against special rights for LGBT, then the lib council goes and slips it in under the door anyway. This is just the beginning.
