• Haines voters consider tax on timber, gravel and ore exports (chilkatvalleynews.com) — Haines Borough voters will soon decide whether to adopt a new severance tax on exported timber, gravel, and mineral ore, aiming to shift some tax burden off local property owners. Supporters say it prepares Haines to benefit from projects like gravel exports and potential mining, while critics worry it could discourage industry. Early voting starts Sept. 21, with Election Day on Oct. 6.
