"One of these days, something real big's gonna happen," the outgoing port director said.

That's classic.  That pretty much sums up the rationale that Mat Su leaders have used for decades to scam money from the feds, state and taxpayers to fund their irrational and wasteful projects.  Build it and they will come.  Or ... maybe they won't (like what happened with the last 10 projects).

Yes, something big is bound to happen.  Like the state dissolving the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, because Alaska does not need pointless government that serves no purpose but to tax and waste.  Mat-Su towns can stand on their own and remote areas should go back to being managed by the state.  The MSB, like communism, is a social experiment that failed.

Thanks go out to Zac for keeping us posted on what the loonies at MSB are up to.
