Among other hot-button issues, Bronson verbally threw his support behind the transition of the Golden Lion Hotel into low-income housing, a plan he had previously opposed.
. The only votes to maintain the mayor’s veto came from Assembly members Kevin Cross, Jamie Allard and Randy Sulte.
“We also have a few interesting ballot propositions for the voters as well — there’s one dealing with the marijuana tax and there’s one dealing with the MOA trust fund, so I think those will be interesting ones for us to deliberate and decide if they’re good enough to send to the voters,” Assembly member Felix Rivera said.
The Assembly did not get to all items on bond proposals Tuesday night, instead opting to give residents more time for public testimony at the next Assembly meeting, as the deadline for ballot propositions for the April municipal election is that same day. Tuesday night also marked Allard’s last Assembly meeting as a member before she heads to Juneau to begin her new job in the state legislature.
“As I leave and take the oath of office in Juneau, I hope to continue to work with the Assembly to further what is good, what is responsible, and what is productive for our community and our great state,” Allard said.
