Mat-Su Voters Reject Gas Tax, Elect New Officials

On November 5th, voters in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough rejected a proposed gas tax, with a majority opposing the measure. The Mat-Su Assembly had placed this question on the ballot to gauge public opinion. Meanwhile, several local elections saw preliminary results, with Michael Bowles and Stephanie Nowers securing one-year terms for the Mat-Su Assembly, and Lorie Colee and Kendal Kruse leading in the Mat-Su School Board races. A ballot question concerning prorated property tax exemptions for seniors and disabled veterans was overwhelmingly passing. Full results are expected after a canvass board count on Friday evening.
