Last month, Assembly Members Felix Rivera and Randy Sulte unveiled a substitute version of their AO 2024-105, the Project Anchorage 3% sales tax that the sponsors say will be temporary.
Two town halls this week are devoted to the subject of the Rivera Sulte Tax on Anchorage consumers:
If approved by a two-thirds vote of the Assembly, the ordinance would send the sales tax question to municipal voters.
Project Anchorage is an initiative developed by the Anchorage Economic Development Corporation that proposes to enact a temporary 3% sales tax that proponents say will give property tax relief and fund the development of local projects picked by the Marxist-dominated Assembly of Anchorage. ​​
