Hey Girdwood residents tired of getting shafted by the Municipality of Anchorage

Hey Girdwood residents tired of getting by the Municipality of Anchorage.  Since 1974 when Anchorage decided to annex the borough into the city.  It has left residents in Chugiak, Eagle River and Girdwood residents shafted.  State charter required all cities to provide police protection within the city limits of a municipality.  Anchorage however does not do this in Girdwood.  Their is no Anchorage Police Department sub station and they is no squad in dealing with Girdwood.  The Alaska State Troopers provide police protection for Girdwood.  Their is also no medical center for Girdwood residents if a Girdwood residents wants medical care you have to spend nearly $2000 on an ambulance and head to an Anchorage hospital.  People in Girdwood need to have Providence Alaska Medical Center put a clinic their to save residents medical dollars.  If Girdwood resident want something for their community they have to ask the rest of Anchorage municipality permission to have it. If the mother ship says no it means no for Girdwood even if Girdwood residents voted for it this is the same problem for Eagle River and Chugiak.   You need to first of contact an assembly member that will ignore you since they live in South Anchorage not Girdwood unlike Eagle River and Chugiak who have two assembly members.  Girdwood actually has a non functioning community council that the Anchorage Assembly ignores most of the time.  Voters in Girdwood need to form a committee get signatures and have a local election to ask the residents if want to become part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough.  If the majority of the residents say yes then propose to the Kenai Peninsula assembly to annex the Girdwood area.  The state legislature must adjust the borough boundaries due to resident demand.  If the Kenai Peninsula borough voters vote in favor of annexing you.  The people in Girdwood will have better representation and possibly the Girdwood and Hope may even have direct representation in the Kenai Peninsula borough.  Please express to the Municipality of Anchorage we want to be in the Kenai Peninsula Borough where Girdwood residents will have a voice.
