Please vote against Prop 8 so the Assembly and Mayor can grant the 3% pay raises to all city employees.  These employees need and deserve their 100,000+ retirement pensions, the cost of living in Palm Springs is high.  We should be glad when the state and city revoke the property tax exemption for those older than 65, after all, to make Anchorage more progressive, we need to get rid of the elderly.  If you want to live in a modern city, you must pay the Piper, er mayor, more than $1500/month for property taxes.  Don't worry, ASD will use your money for the new $150,000/year Security position.
