Dick Traini
Assemblypersons Anna Fairclough and Dick Traini sponsored the ordinance authorizing John Rubini to use the an Anchorage City parking lot as leverage in a real estate bid. The same two who led the charge to give Rubini a tax break on his base housing also tried to get tax exemptions for Rubini’s Parks Building. The Parks Building was to be a privately owned “build to suit” on a long term lease. Tax free municipal bonds are, by law, not allowed to be used as a means of supplying dedicated parking for a private investor.
