March 2009 - A.C.T.
prepares to introduce the latest version of the revenue
cap. If the borough rejects the petition again
A.C.T. has two options. If the money is available
to fund a legal challenge it will be done with expedited
hearings in an attempt to get this placed on the 2009
ballot. If the money is not available then the
petition will be delayed for another year during which
time the public is not protected by provisions of the
proposed cap. Donations can be made to support
this effort without limit.

October 2007 - A.C.T.
introduced the total revenue cap called
ACT-CAP
which was denied by the KPB even though it is
substantially the same as revenue caps in Anchorage,
Fairbanks, and MatSu Boroughs. The Kenai Borough
decided to withhold approval until a legal challenge forces
them to allow a public vote on this issue.
October 2007 - The question
of term limits for borough assembly and school board
members was put on the municipal
ballot by initiative ordinance and passed by a majority of voters. The
borough chose to over turn the election results and
A.C.T. fought hard in court to have the public finally
be heard. On August 14, 2008 the court ruled in
favor of A.C.T. on term limits for assembly members that
would take effect with the 2008 election.
June 22, 2007 - The borough assembly has
a long
history of ignoring voters on term limits.
A.C.T. took notice and did something about it by filing
initiative petitions for term limits on the Kenai
Borough Assembly and
School Board Members.
April 19, 2006 -
The Alliance
of Concerned Taxpayers (A.C.T.) files ACT XXIV, an initiative called “ACT-CAP”
that limits KPB tax revenue without voter approval.

XIV - Filed May 11, 2005 and rejected by borough
for legal reasons on May 25, 2005. Multiple
attorneys contacted by ACT are of the opinion that the
borough has cited a weak reason for denying this
initiative. The only course of action available at
this time is to raise about $30,000 and mount a legal
challenge to let this issue be put to voters. Fund
raising for this action has begun, see the
Donations
Page for more information.
