Alaska Voters Reject Gas Tax for Road Improvements

**Summary:**Alaska's Matanuska-Susitna Borough voters overwhelmingly rejected a proposed seven-cent-per-gallon gas tax for a one-and-a-half-year trial period, with 7,868 votes against and 3,377 votes in favor. The advisory vote was meant to gauge public opinion for the Borough Assembly, which would need to pass separate legislation for the tax to take effect.
