What Do You Think?




Results of last week’s

online poll question:

Do you support the decision by the Alliance of Concerned Taxpayers, or ACT, to file a civil suit against the Kenai Peninsula Borough alleging it is violating ordinances governing the collection of sales taxes and spending on capital projects?

&bullYes: 48 percent

&bullNo: 52 percent

Selected comments:

&bullMayor Williams is a professional fund-raiser. If he can’t get it from the state or feds, he will attempt to raise our taxes.

— Andy Lovett, Soldotna

&bullYes, I support ACT’s public interest litigation. The borough has done everything it can to force the issues: they have misinterpreted a referendum on one ordinance to somehow negate an entirely different lawful ordinance.They purposely violated the capital projects cap so that a suit would be initiated. It is time for an impartial judge to determine these issues.

— Vicki Pate, Nikiski

This week’s
