Yes Mike you have a point. The Mat Su Borough leaders are, or were in the past, a bunch of incompetent nincompoops. But swimming pools improperly maintained, they are 30 years old Mike! Maintenance can only be stretched so far. A falling apart Port Mac with no customer's, and the ferry boondoggle, true enough!  Rail Link too, a boondoggle of idiotic proportions. But hey, Im just being optimistic and hoping that maybe with new leadership, a new tax source can be used for something useful, hopefully by politicians with some brains. And hoping these pie in the sky projects will be sidelined with realistic goals in mind in the future. Your inference that Mat-Su voters are stupid is uncalled for, insulting, and inappropriate. I was born and raised and lived in Anchorage for 45 years and we never made such disparaging remarks about our valley neighbors. And most of the valley population moved out here from Anchorage!!! Like me. If you cant be a good neighbor, go back to Montana, outastater!!
