Anchorage voters: Proposition 4 Status Update

[Mike & Marcia Harmening]

    The Pool Bond - Proposition 4 - needs your vote tomorrow April 1st.

 

    A few pool supporters staying home could tip the result against us.

                This is an off-cycle election which means that the total turn out is going to be low. 

                There are only a few hot races that have generated real interest even though they are all important.

                 If we do not pass Proposition 4 then there is no chance that the funds to repair the pools will be available in                         the foreseeable future. 

                We need pool supporters in Eagle River, Chugiak, and Girdwood to turn out and vote.  Proposition 4 has                             to pass area wide - you'll get the chance to use the renovated pools and will not have to pay any taxes for them!

 

    We need to pass Proposition 4 with a healthy positive margin. 

                We need matching money from the State to do all the repairs.

                The legislature and the Governor will watch the outcome.

                The draft Senate capital budget released last week does not contain any money for the Anchorage pool repairs.

                If tomorrow's vote shows strong support for the Pool Bonds, then it will get their attention and the attention of the House and Governor.

 

    Proposition 4 and the state match will fail only if you are a supporter and you do not vote.

                There is no organized opposition to it.

                There was very little opposition expressed at Community Council and other group meetings.

                Most people feel that the pools are important, but that does not mean that they will turn out and vote.

                We can only count on each other if we are going to succeed.

 

    Be part of the pool restoration process, protect the opportunity for Anchorage kids to learn to swim, be a good citizen and feel good about yourself!    Make time to vote on April 1st
