Police protection?  So in Girdwood, we have been living without any real police protection like in most places in Anchorage.  If you need the police because of a burglary or anything else that does not involve an active shooter....get ready to wait....and wait...and wait. The decision to get Whittier Police "protection" passed by three votes!  So now I get to pay over $700.00 a year more property tax to get basically nothing!  I voted against the proposal feeling that I can get more protection myself than hiring the Whittier cops.  We need law and order restored in this country but the police in most cities are only reactionary in most crimes that don't involve an active shooter. So whose fault is that? Look at the current President of the United States and the woman who hopes to replace him!  The police are not allowed to do their job in the best of circumstances. The federal government doesn't have their back anymore.....so what are we taxpayers getting for our money?  Peace of mind?
