It’s another AEDC empty promise

How many decades of failed AEDC projects do we need to endure?
Lowering property taxes is a deceptive dream
A new library downtown because the Midtown Library is so overcrowded
Young family’s staying in Anchorage is a long shot without good paying jobs > a tax won’t fix that
After decades of AEDC trying, people are still not moving here
We built trails, the PAC, Convention Center, Sullivan Arena and Museum with oil revenues not taxes
THINK AGAIN, no one relocates here because it’s attractive, has trails, or it’s a great place to live
Anchorage already has a great quality-of-life > Project Alaska’s tax only benefits business

The solution is workforce development not a new tax

Tourism continues to expand
