Yeah, I get that. However it also makes for much less civility. People can come on and just say horrible things, because they feel like they're not themselves. It's fake, it's dishonest and yeah, I guess it's typically cowardly.

I'd like to see your calculations. 70% of "this guy's" property taxes may go to the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Some goes to the City of Seldovia where the mill rate is higher than the Boroughs and a lesser value of his property value is located. You go on and provide the calculation. But only a relatively small % ...

In private industry, if an employee performed an unlawful act such as approving an illegal no-bid lease, they would be fired at will immediately. It seems when you are sworn into office to uphold the law, a different set of rules apply. This is why the public is frustrated with government and its lawmakers who feel t...

Nor is there any similarity in bringing up the statues of other states, I simply point out the fact that in many of these types of cases, the status or the authority present makes it easier for the perpetrator to abuse such power.

Yeah. I don't know what all the particulars are, but unless wrongdoing can be proved on the part of the developer, then the state may be held liable for losses. But I'm no lawyer, however, in the past, I have taken many tenants to court, and a breach of contract has consequences, and it appears the state is in breach.
