To begin to get government money you need a tax base. We need Statewide boroughs. 60% of my property tax goes to schools.  When I see a new runway (better than the old runway) costing $50 million for a village of 50 people, I see bad priorities. I live near an urban area but I still built my on road, drilled my own well and made my own septic system. And I maintain and repair them all at my own expense.  And I pay for property taxes.
