Sitka Too Expensive
Dear Editor: What is wrong with the lawmakers of Sitka?
With all the new laws such as raising property taxes, moorage and no sales tax for seniors.
The boat owners are selling their boats and leaving town or leaving them to sink at the dock.
Sitka is about to get a rude awakening call. They’re about to lose their fishing fleet. Eight boats have already left and many more will be left at the dock with no one to care for them.
Everyday we are losing more and more families from Sitka. High rent and utilities and cost-of-living here is way too high. Our cost of groceries and rent is the highest in Alaska.
That’s really something to be proud of, huh?
Rev. Joyce Chandler, Sitka
