"Boroughs are forming or annexing land around Prince of Wales Island. This, coupled with shrinking state and federal funding for schools and communities, the prospect of one or more major mine opening on the Island, and other factors has raised questions in the minds of Prince of Wales residents, school districts, local and tribal governments and organizations about whether borough formation could make sense or not. This major change would have advantages and disadvantages, and which is which will depend in part on an individual’s perspective. Regardless of one’s opinions, informed discussion cannot occur without information." by Barbara J. Scheinberg
