Mat-Su Tries New Taxes to Fund Schools
Mat-Su Borough is pushing two bold new tax proposals to reduce reliance on property taxes: doubling the marijuana sales tax to 10% and adding a 10% alcohol tax, framed as “luxury” levies. Assembly member Ron Bernier, who once cultivated marijuana, backs them to fund schools without burdening homeowners. A similar alcohol tax failed in 2013, and a past gravel severance tax idea also fell short — but voters will decide this time, with a November ballot looming.
