"A Sharp Pencil In Firm Hands Could Eliminate The K.P.B. Budget Crisis Without New Taxes!"

 

 

   What's New!  

 

 
 
  BOROUGH ELECTIONS ARE COMING AND WE ASKED THE HARD QUESTIONS... 
 
The municipal elections will be held on October 7, 2008.  In order for voters to make informed decisions on election day, 
the Alliance of Concerned Taxpayers generated three lists of questions for those seeking office.  One list for Borough
Mayor and Assembly, one for School Board, and one for Service Areas.  See the list of questions asked by following the 
 
 
  WE ARE THE BOROUGH GOVERNMENT AND WE ARE HERE TO HELP... 

 OURSELVES !!! 
 
  • Did you receive the 2008 property tax assessment yet?
  • Is borough spending too high for our small population and rapidly shrinking school enrollment?
  • Are you ready to help CAP the Borough's spending and finally get REAL tax savings?
If your answer is YES, click here and get involved: 
http://www.act-kpb.org/WhatIsACTCAP.htm It is up to YOU to make this happen!
 
 
 
 
  A.C.T. DOES NOT BELIEVE THE KPB SHOULD IGNORE ELECTIONS  
  AND IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT !    
 
After a long delay and deadline extension, KPB FINALLY responds to A.C.T.

  A.C.T. LAWSUITS IN DEFENSE OF BOROUGH CITIZENS' RIGHTS 
  PROGRESS THROUGH THE KENAI SUPERIOR COURT ! 
 

The Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) has asked a Kenai Superior Court judge to declare term-limit initiatives passed by voters in October invalid and unconstitutional.

 

Court papers filed January 9 seek a summary judgment in a lawsuit filed in October by the grassroots group Alliance of Concerned Taxpayers, or ACT, sponsors of a pair of propositions on the Oct. 2 ballot setting term limits for borough assembly and school board seats.

 

Here is the KPB answer and counterclaim, which is followed by their motion for summary judgment and memorandum in support of motion for summary judgment. It should be obvious to everyone the KPB is spending a lot of our tax dollars in support of their own.

 

We have confidence that the court will uphold term limits, and should support and force the borough to recognize the ballot initiatives already won through the efforts of A.C.T. volunteers and approved by voters.

 

The proposed ACT-CAP initiative litigation is the final step in the process to force our Borough to recognize the rights of citizens to have the FINAL say in budget increases, which affect the tax burden of every citizen in the Kenai Peninsula.

 

Alaskan law supports YOUR right to place a reasonable CAP on Borough spending.  This is done in Anchorage and Fairbanks.  Together, we can do it here within the Kenai Peninsula Borough!  For additional information about ACT-CAP click here: http://www.act-kpb.org/WhatIsACTCAP.htm
