Paul Jenkins: Note that the ASD computes its next tax take using inflation and general population increases. Instead, the ASD should ONLY be using STUDENT population increases/decreases. Suppose the population of Anchorage increases 20,000 and none of these are of school age. The ASD still gets an increase in its budget take due to an inaccurate formula. Actually, the general population could go up and the student population could go down (which it has for several of the last 10 years) and the ASD still gets a bump in its budget. Wrong.
