The Haines Borough Assembly will travel to the cannery community of Excursion Inlet for an open-house meeting Tuesday.
The trip is intended as an outreach to remote residents who sometimes chafe at paying borough taxes for what they see as little return. The assembly earlier this year appropriated about $5,000 for road improvements there.
Excursion residents pay the borough’s base income tax rate, 7.19 mills, compared to 11.26 mills on property located in the townsite.
