Anchorage面临83万加元的学校预算缺口;12万加元的财产税在4月前可以弥补大部分。 Anchorage faces an $83M school budget gap; a $12M property tax levy could close most of it by April.

Anchorage面临2026-27年8 300万美元的学校预算短缺,促使Suzanne LaFrance市长提议征收1 200万美元的一次性财产税。 Anchorage faces an $83 million school budget shortfall for 2026–27, prompting Mayor Suzanne LaFrance to propose a $12 million one-time property tax levy. 如果在4月得到议会和选民的批准,这项征税将花费大约27.40美元/100 000美元的财产价值——大约110美元用于400 000加元的家庭。 If approved by the Assembly and voters in April, the levy would cost about $27.40 per $100,000 in property value—roughly $110 for a $400,000 home. 这些资金将弥补大约90%的缺口,帮助维持90个教师职位,防止班级规模扩大和方案削减。 The funds would cover about 90% of the gap, helping maintain 90 teacher positions and preventing class size increases and program cuts. 这项措施被视为比等待征收的销售税更快的解决办法,后者可能需要两年才能产生收入。 The measure is seen as a faster solution than a pending sales tax, which could take up to two years to generate revenue. 大会必须在1月27日前决定是否在4月的投票中征税。 The Assembly must decide by January 27 whether to place the levy on the April ballot.
