Bridge to Nowhere

Responding to Senator Stedman's letter requesting an audit of
the project, I don't agree the bridge is a top state priority
- or if it is - it shouldn't be. There are many higher priority
issues. i.e. education, health care, senior's concerns, veteran's
care and maintaining roads and existing bridges.
Explanation - why no bridge? As I recall most surveys in the
past have concluded the general Alaskan population does not want
and doesn't feel we need a Bridge to Nowhere.
In my opinion this is a bridge to serve a certain population
not the general.
