Keep peddling your Pinocchio lie Dial.  The state's constitution requires that the state is responsible for public school funding and infrastructure based on a student-based formula, or don't you know that?  And over 20 years ago, when charter schools came online local and state funding pays for those schools too, as well as home schooling.  Like I said before, Dial, check out the state's Community and Regional Affairs website and educate yourself on how rural Alaska communities contribute heavily to their communities.  I'm wondering if perhaps a deeply embedded incident happened in your life that causes you to peddle and lash out at Native villagers.  I'm assuming that's where your criticism is targeted.  You're Native too.  Go figure.  Are you still twisting paperclips behind your state trooper desk?  Oh, and if you still live in Ketchikan, Ketchikan is federally recognized as RURAL.  Heh, heh, heh.
