It might come in the form of a no bid contract, leases, mining, timber sales and tourism. Of course there will have to be administrators and workers. It might even be done in house, but highly doubtful.

Again, that sounds a lot like robinhood, take from the worker and give to the jobless. When the bottom fell out of sea otters, did the russians give the natives food stamps?
Anchorage might be largely responsible for electing our representatives but they aren't elected to represent Anchorage alone - or Juneau- or Fairbanks; they represent all of Alaska - even those parts some of us don't care about.
Everyone wants something for their buck, and some want something for nothing. You may not believe it, but I heard when times got tough way back, some folks out there turned nomadic and moved to a better place to survive.
