However, they rejected police department improvements, a school district capital bond, and a one-time tax levy. The citys reliance on property taxes, due to state funding cuts, and concerns over education spending and property tax hikes led to mixed reactions. Long-time residents supported the propositions, while others expressed frustration over rising property taxes and perceived overspending on police. The city now faces pressure to rethink funding and balance corporate breaks to keep Anchorage thriving without overburdening residents.
