I go to Los'Anchorage once a year for supplies and medical check-ups.


ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

I'm hoping like hell that Eaglexit happens and we break free from that communist run city of Anchorage. The fact that Dunbar received as many votes as he did after what he and the assembly did to this community just boggles the mind.


That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

It’s all of those transplant left coast people that love that crap! Anchorage is full of them. Eaglexit would be a good thing, but I don’t see it happening. Anchorage would be losing a ton of property tax revenue.

It might be worthwhile seeing the real rate of return on tax income versus costs...

And I am all for it, especially to control the size of the school district.

You could break up the city/muni and still leave the school district alone. Heck the Mat-Su is a school district of the borough not individual cities. It’s like that in many areas of the lower 48.

Last time I dug into it ASD had a budget about #70 in the US. The "economy of scale" excuse rings very hollow when they spend so much per student and management overhead is ridiculously bloated. They will eliminate a teaching position and hire a new manager to console the staff immediately.

To be clear, getting out of the ASD is the very best reason for ERxit.

Anchorage just "NEEDS" a 9.5% sales tax, and it will be "perfect".
