Assembly hearing set on placing school-board term limits before voters

The policies and procedures committee heard Ordinance 20 26-26, a proposal to ask borough voters whether to impose term limits on members of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School Board. Assemblymember Eichert, one of the ordinance sponsors, said state law has changed and argued the borough should pose the question again: "So I think it would be our duty to ask the same question again now that it's changed." The ordinance was introduced as brought by "Assemblymember Eichert, President Tunseth, the mayor, and Assemblymember Neeson," according to the committee chair.
