Anchorage mayor's proposed budget cuts over 50 city jobs
Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson proposed a budget for next year that cuts city spending by 1.3%, consolidates several departments and eliminates 53 jobs.
Bronson unveiled his proposal at a news conference on Friday. He said the budget is designed to streamline the city’s government. In all, it chops $7.5 million in spending, resulting in a roughly $550 million budget.
“We’re real happy with that,” Bronson said. “And that’s how we have to move forward, we have to be quite responsible with the taxpayers’ dollars.”
Under the proposal, property owners would pay about $4 less per $100,000 of property they own, according to city budget documents.
