There are two classes of boroughs, both of which have mandatory powers of education, land use planning, and tax assessment and collection. Both classes have separately elected borough assemblies and school boards. The major difference between the first and second-class boroughs is in how they may acquire other powers. Additionally, there are 11 census areas in the state which have no borough government due to sparse population. Aleutians East Borough Municipality of Anchorage .

History J Most of Alaskaâs food supply, with the exception of some dairy products, fish, poultry, and vegetables, has to be shipped in from other states. Manufactured foods must also be imported. Alaska has become a major foreign-exporting state primarily because of its fisheries and mining. Alaskaâs exports of fish, minerals, and some forest products have an annual value of as much as $3 billion a year. Most goods go to Japan, South Korea, and other Asian markets, and in recent years exports to the Russian Far East have been increasing. Alaska imports most of its consumer goods, primarily through the port of Anchorage, and the Alaskan trade has long been important to the economies of the ports of Seattle and Tacoma in Washington state.
