Avuu and Homer,

You have stated that funding does not come from the State.  However, the article states,

"The Alaska Legislature set aside $43.2 million in 2015 for the replacement school in Kivalina".

Later, the article claims,

"The cost of the road project could range from $40 million to $70 million... Richards said borough officials planned to go to Juneau to lobby for road funding". 

This would seem to indicate that the State (including me) will pay for these projects.  I am interested to see any evidence you can provide to refute the claims of the author.
