Vote NO for consolidation in City of Ketchikan and Ketchikan Gateway Borough governments. The vote on consolidation has always failed in past for good reason. City of Ketchikan can not provide many of the services to the Borough residents and the Borough residents don't want to pay for library and museums they can't use. City of Ketchikan can't provide any fire protection, police protection, garbage service, water and sewer. People live out in country for a reason. To get far away from government interference and for privacy.

The consolidation vote takes a majority votes from the city residents and the borough residents. The borough residents always voted consolidation of both governments down in past consolidation vote. Vote no on consolidation.

I would vote to vote out all the incumbents that are running for re-election from the Borough government and City of Ketchikan government. They are responsible for all your problems. Bridge to nowhere, Annexation of Hyder and Meyers Chuck, Alaska, Ward
Cove LPK, Ward Cove Cannery. This is your present elected officials are running you to the poor house. Ketchikan should be worrying about providing essential services for their electors. I see a bunch of manager type people running your government that can not make any decisions and could not make a good decision if they tripped over one.

Ketchikan needs Leaders not indecisive business managers. Look for leadership qualities in your new candidates running in this election and vote them in.

Vote No for consolidation and vote out all the incumbents running for City or Borough government. This is my own opinion.
