In the latest back and forth between Mayor Dave Bronson's administration and the Anchorage Assembly over city spending, Bronson has vetoed several assembly budget revisions, including funding for school resource officers.
that reinstated funding that the mayor left out of his proposed budget revision. Now, in a familiar move, the mayor has vetoed most of those budget changes, due to what he calls assembly “overspending.”, the Bronson administration said the vetoes save taxpayers $3.4 million, and delivers a budget for 2022 that is $4.7 million dollars below the tax cap.
The Bronson administration said one of the reasons for striking funding to the School Resource Officer program is because the Anchorage School District approved budget includes property taxes to pay for the program during the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the assembly’s action taxes property owners a second time to pay for the same program according to the administration.
Anchorage School Board President Margo Bellamy said in a statement that the school district continues to advocate for the program and the Anchorage police officers who serve the schools. “While I can understand a difference of opinion when it comes to how to disperse the limited funds of the Municipality, what I cannot understand are cuts in funding to the Anchorage Police Department,” Conkling wrote in an email to the assembly.
