Trust the crazies in Juneau, Never-Never land of corruption, malfeasance, graft, boondoggles, and stomping grounds of the Corrupt Bastards Club, to come up with another useless waste of taxpayer funds to coddle the criminal element that is out of control in every large city in Alaska. This will be another waste of money and time with failure stamped all over it. The junkies and wastoids sticking a needle in their arm or a glass pipe in their mouth are not going to be changed by this. They don't want to change, they won't make the choice to change, nothing and no one is going to MAKE them change. Public Stocks and public floggings would be a far better deterrent and cost much less. Low-level crimes like these progress right up the ladder to rape and murder unless it is STOPPED. All this talk of a 'budget crisis' causing the issues is smoke and mirrors. If our duly elected 'representatives' could stop buying fancy new LIO's they could use those funds on programs that WORK.
