Alaska Marine Highway

Our Governor and other South Central politicians are showing
their true colors and their appointees at the AMHS are parroting
their line. Now they are trying to make Alaskans think THEY are
the only ones fiscally responsible. Does that mean that the public
is irresponsible because we want a Marine Highway System that
will provide inexpensive, efficient, safe, and FREQUENT public
transportation between our communities and the lower 48?
While massive freeway projects,
Knik Arm super spans, and even more permanent fund rebate checks
are being proposed in our legislature, the voice of the Alaskan
coast is being ignored or poo-pooed.
Don't wave your fiscal handkerchief
at us because the perception here is that the coffers are full
and getting fatter and just because we don't live in Anchorage
doesn't mean we can't see the pork as it gets put on your spit.
