Folks, this is not that far fetched. What I would recommend is that you approach your legislators. You can form an unincorporated area. This is actually the definition of a township. My idea for Governor's Island was to form an incorporated place which is a town.
Since the non bridged islands are largely seasonal this would fit perfectly with an unicorporated place. What it would take would be a bill sponsored by your state legislature. I actually think given the current political environment it would pass. You would not be responsible for the town and local school portion of the tax bill but would still pay the county and the state school fund. You would then negotiate with the county (always looking for funds) for the services you collectively would desire. Your taxes would be very low and you would be happy.
