Anchorage Voters: Invest in Future with Bond Measures

0:00Anchorage voters are heading to the polls to decide on a bundle of bond measures that would fund fixes for crumbling police stations, old ambulances, school roofs and security, plus better access to Chugach State Park. These bonds also cover hiring more teachers to shrink class sizes, upgrading public building boilers, repairing roads and drainage, boosting public, transit spots, and making dangerous intersections safer for walkers. For the median homeowner, it all adds up to about $0.65 a day. That daily cost comes from the total of all these propositions, based on the median home price of $405,601. As of late February, it excludes just one local road fix in Bear Valley, folks without property pay even less, making it cheaper than a pack of gum. People see this as a smart play to keep young families around, draw in new businesses, and keep tourists coming. Without these upgrades, the city's edge could slip, hurting schools, safety, and growth for kids.
