Yes, the free ride is over and that is all inclusive. Remember all that one time TARP money Anchorage applied for and received; and subsequently went on a hiring binge. We guess what, that money is spent and we're left with a much larger workforce that can not be supported with property taxes alone. The solution is a sincere reduction in the number of employees hired with one time gifts from the federal government. Then, less reliance on the state and property taxes.
