Anchorage Residents to Vote on New Sales Tax

Anchorage residents may soon vote on a new three percent sales tax, proposed by Mayor Suzanne LaFrance, to fund public safety, infrastructure, housing, and childcare. This tax aims to lower property taxes and could generate up to $180 million annually, with a significant portion coming from non-residents. The proposal, finalized next week, needs Assembly approval by mid-January to appear on the spring ballot. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
