The position of the State Troopers is irresponsible, outside the tradition of the organization.  Unorganized communities are the responsibility of the troopers.  The Municipality of Anchorage is also not meeting its responsibility for a densely traveled area and the most dangerous it has anywhere.  But APD at least is honoring the law.  Anchorage probably should take over, but needs time to change the law - and support from voters to do so (meaning more taxes for property owners).  Until it does, the governor should require the Troopers to honor their mandate.
