Sales tax could double for some Mat-Su communities

No one likes to pay taxes, but people who live in the Mat-Su may find themselves paying a lot more if propositions for new sales taxes go through.

The Borough is considering a first ever general sales tax of 3 percent. The majority of the money raised would help pay for Valley schools that are struggling with an $11 million budget deficit.
