Here is an idea Anchorage Police Chief Mark Mew and the Anchorage Assembly reward cab drivers and dispatch companies to lead to arrest drunk drivers

Attention Anchorage Assembly and Anchorage Police Chief Mark Mew hire night time cab drivers to monitor new bars if they see someone impaired coming out of a bar then start to drive then have a special number that cab drivers and dispatcher can call to report drunk drivers to and then have the Anchorage Police Department pull over the drunk driver so they do not kill someone or themselves by accident while driving impaired.  Have retail store clerks from convenience stores during the grave yard shift if they see someone plastered also report to the police if the drunk person who drives to their store impaired.  It is better to give a person a DWI where hopefully will be a wake up call then to have a traffic fatality.  If a cab driver successful reports driver to law enforcement while doing fare  the cab driver should get a reward of $200 minimum if the dispatcher calls from a cab driver the cab driver gets $100 and the dispatch company gets $100.  Dispatcher if Dispatch Company chooses can pay the dispatch there portion decision made by dispatch manager or officer manager or dispatch owner since dispatch helped prevent drunk driver. 

Native Alaskan Corporations and tribal councils should pay for teachers to teach in rural Alaska

Since we have a problem keeping teachers to teach in rural Alaska.  Why not the Alaskan Native Corporation and village tribal councils pay upcoming teachers during college in a form of a scholarship.  Applicants must maintain a B average and they must agree to teach in an Alaskan village for five years after graduation.  This also makes it so that Alaskan native village like Akhiok make an investment in the community.  Another idea is to allow the Alaska Board of Education not to require a teacher certificate to teach in a rural Alaska school allow elders to teach the kids this will allow the Alaska natives to pass down their traditions to the Alaska native youth.
