Well what do expect, when we elect corrupt people like Les Gara, Chris Tuck and Billy Willi-no-one-can-spellski. These where the people that held last years budget hostage to get 100 million dollar of worthless pork put back in to pay off the unions that support them.

guestsquared: Your links are interesting. Apparently, a 2009 version of Medford's ordinance was found to be unconstitutional, but the 2011 version is still in force.

I agree with you on this. Anchorage pays $45 million a year on bond INTEREST alone. If the average household paid $3000 in property taxes, then 15,000 homes Anchorage pay taxes just to pay off the Wall Street banks and underwriters of the bonds. That's obscene. There are a lot of stupid people in Anchorage.
