Mike, so has your elected mayor been of any help to get things organized?  Has the borough already raised the property tax for the East Talkeetna folks?  I don't see where you have much to complain about unless the property taxes have already been raised.  It seems that you want the borough to respond faster than those who live in your own community.  The people in your community are the closest to the problem and should respond accordingly.  It seems that you want to blame the Mat Su Borough for the problems you have with the folks in your community.  Am I wrong?  Who is your mayor and why hasn't he been a spokesman regarding the erosion and sewage problems in your town?
