Summary

Mat-Su voters face a big financial crossroads this fall, with two major tax proposals on the ballot: a new one percent sales tax to fund schools and roads — paired with a $75,000 property tax exemption for homeowners — and a separate five percent alcohol sales tax. The sales tax plan, narrowly approved by the Assembly after previous rejection, aims to ease pressure on property taxes but sparks debate over fairness, especially for disabled veterans. With complex trade-offs and lingering questions, November could be a pivotal election for how the Mat-Su Borough funds its future.
