Summary
Juneau’s city assembly faces a make-or-break budget vote this Monday, with major decisions looming on flood mitigation, tax policy, and service cuts — all before the June 15th deadline. Voters last fall approved initiatives that created a $10–12 million annual deficit, forcing tough choices: stick with proposed cuts or explore raising the sales tax cap on luxury items — a move that could save the city museum or keep Mount Jumbo Gym open. They’ll also lock in a 9.92 mills property tax rate. Separately, they’ll vote on scrapping a flawed flood protection funding model that unfairly burdened 400 landowners while leaving others untouched — a system now deemed unsustainable for ongoing repair costs and potentially liable in lawsuits. Residents can testify in person or online at 6 PM at City Hall — your voice matters before the final budget is sealed. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
