[Dxbase] Cannot find DXBase2005 Countys

Wed Mar 9 00:43:35 EST 2005

Hmmm, interesting. My only guess would be that not all AK ops are not
county hunters and don't know or realize what judicial district they are
operating in and out of habit revert to local naming conventions. I do know
that not all of Alaska is covered by the borough government structure.
There are periodic reports from Juneau that the legislature is considering
passing a law that would force all areas of the state to incorporate and
have a local borough government structure. I don't see that happening
anytime soon - bush Alaskans are too independent and well armed to stand for
that bs!
