## Resource

Fairbanks voters just approved a cautious fiscal plan that keeps property taxes flat — but not everyone will be unaffected. With a 7-2 vote, the borough dodged a tax hike by dipping into the general fund, sparing residents from extra costs as inflation climbs. Yet, rising home values could still mean higher bills for some homeowners. Meanwhile, the school district gets its requested funding — but at a cost: nearly $6 million comes from money they’d rather have saved for future needs. Final school budget decisions await union talks and state funds, with the full $217 million plan kicking in July 1. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
