Maybe the first thing we do is identify the 34 police departments who have thus far refused to comply with the Governor's request to account for the rape kits.

Then we- as a state- start asking the police chief of each of these departments to resign.  It would seem a fair statement that these administrators are simply not competent.

As far as the legislature goes- we can continue to fire those who have allowed this situation to happen.  People like Pete Kelly, and John Coghill, have had the chance to ensure adequate funding was made available to ensure these kits were tested.  Instead, they voted to give $700 million in corporate welfare to Big Oil this year.  If these people are not corrupt, they are mild mentally retarded.

Alaskans should be livid.

So how about it Shannyn, could you devote a column to the 34 hacks who are "running" these various "police" departments?
