This is Mertarvik, Alaska, population 300. It’s a new town. Its residents, the vast majority of whom are Yup’ik, began moving in around 2019. The move was by necessity: The nearby village where many residents previously lived, Newtok, is sinking, its riverbanks eroding. THREAD 🧵

A big part of the reason people love living here is access to outdoor recreation. Guess who maintains the roads to get you there? We were set to finally lift the lowest in the country property tax revenue cap this year until the Governor signaled that he would veto.

This is the thing that struck me as so odd about the strategy. Weakness is not a good attribute for a law firm, especially a high dollar outfit. You want a letter from them to scare the shit out of people.

Since it’s Pride eve, a reminder that in Tacoma/Pierce County ours is in July. Historic reasons, but always confuses people. Kinda looking forward to someone angrily complaining that Executive Mello, who is gay, hasn’t done anything to mark the occasion. 😂
