I pay property taxes every year. I  publicly offer suggestions on how to solve our problems. I vote every election without fail .  I don't give money to people on street corners or donate to big time enablers like Beans and Francis who enable many of our problems to grow with no end in sight. Because of these two places the street homeless lifestyle thrives in Anchorage , and the death toll of those people continue to rise.  IF Berkowitz was doing the fantastic job Wohlforth claimed he was doing things would be getting better and you'd cite those examples instead of asking me questions.  IF Parnell and Sullivan did the poor job your comment is really implying they did, it should have been easy for Berkowitz to do better by comparison.  Everyone who donates to those two places  are part of the problem , and not part of the solution. How about you--are you part of the problem and reason nothing improves , and instead things are getting worse ?
