John *Q. Public Has His-Her Say
In Long and Hectic Borough Meeting
Pros and cons concerning bor
ough incorporation were many
and varied last Saturday when
the Kenai Peninsula Borough
Study Group met at Riverside
House, Soldotna, in an effort to
get the business of borough in
corporation started.
In approximately four hours of
heated discussion many opinions
were voiced, a few of which fol
low:
“Why do anything? Just sit
still and all the Peninsula will be
in one borough anyway.’’
“If Homer wants out, OK.
That’s Homer’s choice and more
power to her.’’
“W’hy cast the last two year’s
work down the drain. We’ve made
a study. Let’s get some action.’’
“We’ve got the bull by the tail
either way. Do we get dragged
into this incorporation thing or
do we want to take a chance of
being able to let go?’’
“If we petition and set up prior
to next Legislature, we have time
to learn our shortcomings and
problems and can then ask for
relief."
“Let the state force us into it—
then the problems are the state's
baby and not ours.”
“We are grown up individuals
who supported statehood. We
knew then we’d have boroughs—
and its accompanying problems—
we got them with statehood. Let’s
be grown up enough to face the
situation and work things out for
ourselves.’’
“We’d be better off in the long
run to get acquainted with what is
ahead of us and let the state wor
ry about the incorporation prob
lem.’’
"The borough assembly is the
most important issue — the as
sembly will pick out the borough
seat—we must search for good
assemblymen.”
“The most important issue is
whether we are going into in
corporation as first class or sec
ond class.”
“The size of the borough and
its boundaries are the most vital
question. How can we plan until
we know how big it will be?’’
“Our mdm problems are taxing,
assessing, zoning, raising enough
revenue to support a borough . . .
schools . . . roads. Borough fi
nances are the biggest problem.”
“Incorporation is inevitable . . .
no use rushing a deadline . . . we
need to allot what time we have
to prepare for mandatory incor
poration.”
“We either have to accept man
datory incorporation or make a
grand, and probably futile, at
tempt to petition. We’ll probably
come up with the same answer
when it is all over.”
“Find men capable of borough
management . . . that’s what we
need . . . proper and prompt se
lection of individuals.”
“We resent having a borough
lamrodded down our throats.”
“Lets «o it ourselves.”
“Nobody’s going to drag Sel
dovia into anything . . . We call
our own terms.”
“It’s time to quit bickering and
get to work. Let’s get started on
this job.”
“Letting the state do it isn’t the
cowardly way out . . . it’s the
smart thing to do.”
“There’s no disadvantage in let
ting the state do it, except that
by petitioning we might get addi
tional powers.”
“If we’re going to be hung,
let’s not braid our own rope. If we
have to hang, let the state’s rope
do the job.”
"That ‘do nothing’ talk is tak
ing the defeatist’s attitude. Pos
itive thinking and decisive action
is our best solution.”
“Down in the Legislature, the
Peninsula has been referred to as
being occupied by a bunch of
foot-draggers, Karasitfes, hay
seeds . . . Let’s have enough civic
pride and dignity to take our own
action,”—this last is part of a
quote from Sen. Yule Kilcher’s
comments.
