You best read ALL the posts!
Your ego is too big! Reign it in.
I addressed my comment "you folks" as several posts mentioned other areas of Alaska with tourist problems (including John Benders post on Ketchikan having the answers and being a model for Talkeetna.  Talkeetna is unincorporated and all the other tourist areas mentioned are incorporated.
Best get use to the fact Talkeetna is not going to incorporate into a city in Mat Su Borough.
The reasons why have been stated.
Mat Su Borough is the Authority Having Jurisdiction in Talkeetna and the borough is incapable of doing their job.
Man up to that fact and reign in your ego.  Read the other posts.
