Mat Su CONservative government in its finest examples.  The haven for anti-government, anti-tax, anti-everything except their own government pay checks and pie-in-the-sky government-funded schemes.  Modern Hole-In-The-Wall criminal gang enclaves combined with Old South Fundamentalist Christian Plantation mentality stuck in the 18th and 19th century mindset.  We cheat everyone else and pass the savings on to ourselves.
