Why Detachment Makes Sense
As an independent borough, AD2 residents can ensure that policies, taxes, and resources are managed by leaders who live in AD2 and understand the community's unique needs. Decisions would be made locally—not dictated by Anchorage’s urban-centric priorities. A small government structure would be easily accessible by the local citizens…imagine a mayor’s office where you can knock on the office door of the mayor and walk in for a chat. Imagine a local assembly comprised of your neighbors and friends who live in this area. Imagine schools where the students are taught math, science, reading, writing, civics and history, achieving excellent test scores.
