Amid the chaos and deluge of negative campaign ads in the run-up to the Nov. 5 election, the municipal sales tax proposal known as Project Anchorage has faded into the background for most residents. That’s a pity because the proposal is an interesting one: It would institute a 3% sales tax, with two-thirds of the revenue collected used to offset property taxes. The other percentage would go toward funding civic projects to enhance Anchorage and make it more engaging for visitors and residents alike.
