PETERSBURG, AK Local voters will likely have several sales tax questions to decide this October. Petersburg’s city council Monday passed the first reading of a ballot question to remove the senior citizen sales tax exemption for purchases of alcohol and tobacco, but not without some opposition. The council also voted to send a question to voters on creating sales tax free days in Petersburg.
