The town is not 'climate challenged', it was built on a spit of sand a few feet above sea level waiting for the next big storm to wash it away.  Any state money to continue fighting nature is a total waste of taxpayer dollars.  Why is it that every time a village has a problem state and federal taxpayers are somehow required to bail them out.  Tell every adult villager that a modest home with no down payment awaits them on the railbelt and they are welcome to move and make the payments but we will build no hundred million boondoggle in the bush again.
