With the economic clouds on the horizon, we're not 100% sure what's going to happen with the population of Anchorage. And I think that it would be a mistake for us to start building new schools right now. We've got overcapacity in our school system. We need to use the things that we have in place, maintain them. I support bond packages that are maintenance, but new infrastructure, I think we need to take a hard look at. (17:17–17:20)
