We need to annex Whittier to the Municipality of Anchorage

We need to annex Whittier to the Municipality of Anchorage.  This will give the municipality a fresh water port to Alaska.  This will also allow give Whittier better access to government services.  This will also allow Girdwood to have a sister community.  This will also allow the municipality to create a south version and encourage more developments South of Anchorage.  Please tell the Anchorage Assembly to annex Whittier.  Anchorage is already sending taxis to Whittier since Whittier has no local taxi service.  This also will give Anchorage revenue on both sides of the Whittier tunnel. We also need to revise the way we do local control of neighborhoods outside of Anchorage due to the annexing of Whittier an independent city not in a borough to allow it to still have a city council and local control of affair.  


We need to allow Birchwood, Eklutna, Eagle River, Chugiak and Girdwood to incorporate into their own communities to allow local control of revenues spent in their area instead that being decided by the Anchorage Municipal Monster with service areas that make it so that if a neighborhood wants something the mother ship must approve before that service area is allowed to have as well as the service area.  If Anchorage says no it is no even though own communities.
