I would like to know who is on this "BrainTrust" Evans speaks of. I also can't beleive that people will be fooled. He says we need to do this before the state does??? For what reason I'm not sure. If the State passes a 4% sales tax and the city passes a 4% sales tax we will pay 8%! The cities Bond rating just went up. The state has a budget problem Anchorage with a property tax method is solid as per the bonding people. I am also guessing that the"BrainTrust" is going to benifit while if we take Evans at his word we'll only balance out at what we receive as a city now. I would guess that Sullivan and Frasca are part of this BrainTrust and we all know how they left this city. Port, computer systems, poor labor relations , shortage of police officers to name a few.
