Ah the quintestial Alaskan policitician attitude summed up in a few sentences, "let's get someone else to pay for it", some more of that Federal over reach  Mr Kowalke.  In what world do you think neither party profiting should pay for the services to maintain that profit, Oh, yeah Alaska.   
   We seem to be seeing this more and more, quaint little town greatful for tourisst dollars gets over run and must adapt, Hope, Whittier, McCarthy, etc, they all have to adapt or sink under the weight of their success. You simply cannot have it both ways, we want tourist dollars without tourist and a change to our town. Tourist MUST be managed, and this is a role of local government, they need to grasp reality they have to incorporate.
