"Being tough on crime is a luxury Alaska can't afford anymore."

Leave, Charles, now. Enforcing the law and keeping murderers and rapists off the street isn't a "luxury," and the very notion that you think it is disturbs me more than you know. You have no business living in Alaska anymore if you can't understand that public safety is the one thing tax money should absolutely be spent on above all else. Pick a destination, promise to never return, and I'll buy the ticket.
