"An anti-government measure similar to one that has tied the state of Oregon in knots is on the Matanuska-Susitna Borough election ballot Oct. 2."
"Proposition 1 says that property owners must be compensated if a new land use regulation reduces the fair market value of their property. If the town or borough government can't or doesn't want to pay, the government can waive the new rule."
