If you think that Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and other larger communities got to where they are without massive state and federal assistance, you are wrong. IF people who live in urban areas are not happy with 'carrying' the Rural and Remote areas of the state, then why not agree to having us start our own state of Western Alaska? The state is not capable of governing the entire state. It is broke, has a massive budget deficit, cannot police all of the villages, does not provide adequate water and sewer, underfunds the Rural and Remote education budgets, and residents of urban Alaska complain about every single penny that goes out to Rural and Remote Alaska. If the state does not have a duty to  provide basic infrastructure to promote commerce, who does?
