Budget Hearing in Willow

150 Attend Budget Hearing in Willow

Mat-Su | Patty Sullivan | Friday, May 08, 2015

They flew in from Trapper Creek, drove 40 minutes from Talkeetna, and gathered in Willow, 150 or more residents, assembled to participate in the budget hearing with the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Assembly and staff last night. Key testimony centered on whether to raise the Willow fire service area mill rate to help a struggling fire department.

Property tax exemptions for up to $218,000 on a home for senior citizens and disabled veterans were a subject of budget debate. Deputy Mayor Ron Arvin said he was proud to author the legislation that put the recent disabled vet and senior exemption question on the ballot that voters approved last year. Others advocated for a three percent funding increase to the growing School District. Residents also testified on what they called unfair rate hikes for the Talkeetna Sewer & Water system.
