A slight addendum, Q: the "bridge to nowhere" in Alaska has been cancelled at the moment. There were a number of responses from Alaskans and others, calling for redirection of those 23 Million dollars and Congress eventually allotted the overall sum and told Alaska to figure out for herself where she wants to spend it. The governor's administration is working on that now.

Incidentally, as I've mentioned in a thread before, Bridge to Nowhere never quite reflected the truth. It is true that only about 50 people live on the island; however, the airport is on that island and outgoing and homecoming townspeople have to pay $12.00 each way for a very short ride each time they leave town or when they meet someone at the airport. Notwithstanding that, not only other Alaskans but many Ketchikan people were agin it. One person FOR it was the governor, who grew up there.

Now, ask me about the "Million Dollar Bridge to Nowhere", and we'll have something to talk about. That was erected in the wilderness under Republican Governor Wally Hickel back in the 60s or 70s.
