(It’s not often I feel the need to start one of these with an aside,

Alliance of Concerned Taxpayers
Significant developments have occurred since the Kenai Peninsula
Borough government ignored term limits passed, by initiative, in the

Taxpayers filed their second lawsuit against the borough for
obstructing the initiative process.
