Excellent Questions!

Congratulations to Peg Travis for the excellent questions
she asks about Ketchikan's Bridge to Nowhere. These questions
need to be sent to the Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly, the
Ketchikan City Council, and that noisy special interest group
pushing for bridge construction on the public's dime. We
need these questions clearly and accurately answered now and
certainly before this fight goes to the State Legislature.
Let's not expect the State of Alaska to cover the cost of this
bridge or another wasteful scheme here in Ketchikan. While
this is a good year for oil revenues, we must be very
prudent in our state spending. We might face another
"rainy day" sooner rather than later. Some of
us remember that it was not that long ago that we were being
threatened with a dreaded state income tax.
