Jim this is an article about the State of Alaska budget and a state income tax.  Your property tax contributes and funds the MOA.  Owning two properties in Anchorage I'm familiar with the taxes levied.  Alaska is the only state of the 50 that doesn't pay either an income tax or sales tax.  My statement is correct, you contribute 0 to the State of AK aside from a gas and alchohol tax.
