No we're sure you don't; but paying the salaries of cops, fire fighters and other emergency responders will not be done by thinking fairy dust will produce that money.  

This is all about personal legacy.  Is there anyone Don Smith hasn't told that he claims to be the "Father of the Tax Cap"?  Yet after all these years, the "Father of the Tax Cap" does not get readily returned to office after we see the way "Father" operates.  Anchorage can't go back to the way it was because time and people and events move us in a different direction.  We want cops, we want adequate fire protection and we want infrastructure.  That money has to come from somewhere.
