I am trying to get and answer to this question: What is the total value of the debt issued by the City of Anchorage? I left another message yesterday in the Mayor's office and haven't heard anything yet.
I'll keep you posted.

Anchorage's Growing Budget...
A big concern is the amount of money our governments spend. Our governments: city, state and federal. I thought I'd start by looking at the local level to get some answers. I have a call into the Mayor's office asking about hard numbers for the city's debt and about the city's income or tax revenue.
I was told that I need to speak with Richard Whitehead and was put through to his voicemail. I left him a message yesterday.
My main concern is this: the city's budget (including the Anchorage School District) has been growing rapidly while actual enrollment in the school's has been dropping for seven years. Schools are the largest part of the budget. Why is this happeneing?
I'll post more information when (or if!!) I get answers to my inquisition.
