Your vote is your power

To the editor:

You and I are paying for more of the cost of government as the burden is shifted onto our property taxes.

“They” can’t stop. “They” bust our budget year after year.

“They” squandered our rainy day funds, while cutting taxes on business.

“They” strangled our schools and public services, while “budgeting” for dams, bridges, railroads and hundreds of boondoggles.

“They” are our “fiscally conservative” elected state legislators and borough assembly members.

Lets vote to fire these chameleons that are running our government into the ground.

It’s our government. We own it. We can elect folks who can balance the budget and can provide forward funding for our schools and the public services needed for our mushrooming population.

Mat-Su Borough elections are Oct. 7. Alaska’s general election is Nov. 4. Absentee ballot applications are available now.

Your vote is your power. Let’s do this for our kids.
