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:

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. ​​
