The polls will open at 7:00 a.m. on April 3rd and Anchorage residents will vote “yes” or “no” on Proposition 5. Proposition 5, or the “Anchorage Equal Rights Initiative,” asks the question: “Shall the current Municipal Code sections providing legal protections against discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, marital status, age, physical disability, and mental disability be amended to include protections on the basis of sexual orientation or transgender identity?” Join me, Shelly Wade, and my guests on the next Hometown Alaska, when we take your calls and answer your questions about the potential impact of Proposition 5.
