Our Muni, Our Budget

Join in the Conversation about Our Fiscal Future!

Join Assembly Members Erin Baldwin Day and Anna Brawley on October 28, 2025 at 5:30 PM to connect with your neighbors in exploring the municipal budget and answer your questions, like:

• Where do my taxes go?

• How do we pay for better services?

• What do we get for what we pay?

Why does this matter? Why should you show up?

We are asking everyone in the Municipality to have a real conversation about the Muni’s budget. Not specifically the proposed FY 2026 budget, that has its own process! Instead, we want to talk about how the budget is right now, what will happen in the future if we don’t make changes, and start considering our options.

Ultimately the choices are in the hands of voters, especially on fiscal policy. So we’re putting it all on the table, not trying to craft all the solutions in one evening, but asking people:

• What does Anchorage need?
• What do you want?
• What are you willing to pay for?
• And, what are you willing to cut?

We’re not going to walk out of that meeting with a new budget, but we’ll start talking about what’s most important to you.

While this meeting won’t be livestreamed or video recorded, we will share back some takeaways from our conversation afterwards, as well as continue to collect the public’s questions about our budget and fiscal picture, and work to keep providing the information people want in order to understand where we are, and make choices in the future.
 

Refreshments and childcare will be available. Please RSVP to reserve childcare and let us know you plan to attend!
