The more you try to deflect & obfuscate the truth, MA, the more convinced I am that you're on the side of the thieves & junkies that are turning Anchorage, & other places in Alaska, into cesspools of filth & crime. Your comments in support of the thugs making the streets & trails unsafe leaves a foul smell lingering in the air, & I'm beginning to think you're doing it to create a smokescreen for SB91 & it's so-called 'reforms'.

SB91 didn't START the crime wave, several categories had been showing an increase, but once the thieves & junkies got wind of their Free-to-Steal Pass, & APD stopped bothering to show up for anything that wasn't revenue-positive, crime spiked across the board, except for murder, apparently.

You can't hide how  bad it's gotten, you can't cover for the massive increase in property crime. You won't convince the citizens what they see is a lie.

And yeah, that pesky Constitution. Waddya gonna do, the ACLU didn't like the Public Stocks or Dunking Stool options.
