This is kind of like the opinion story that was removed about how Anchorage is a welcoming city and how great we are, that was posted for about 3 hours. Just fix this mess, all the public is asking for. No more articles defending crime is down, why it is up, that it only happens after midnight. Why can't we get trash off our streets nice and quiet like any other city does. Put on a sales tax special for law enforcement, incarnation facilities and larger police force.  The word will get out Anchorage is not a place to be a fool. Taxes would have been cheaper than my alarm system, broken car window and time wasted reading about how crime may or may not be up in Anchorage.
