What you need to know:The Mat-Su Assembly will consider a new 7-cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline and diesel. The proposal is intended to generate revenue for road maintenance and construction and reduce reliance on property taxes. A public hearing is scheduled for July 15. The tax would not apply to aviation fuel, marine fuel or home heating fuel. It would apply to fuel sold at gas stations across the borough, including in the cities of Houston, Wasilla and Palmer.
