Is the Highway Trust Fund About to Hit a Dead End?

Where the ONLY frigging airport around is.
There is tons of traffic for the ferry there.

I wish the media would quit mis-characterizing that.

They're referring to Ketchikan, I believe it is. And the truth of the matter, as you point out, is that the airport is on the island.

However, isn't there a more cost-effective way of improving Ketchikan's access to its airport? A second ferry, perhaps.

The airport terminal is directly opposite the city and the channel is only a quarter-mile wide, so the ferry would probably be as quick as (or quicker) than the long, looping road trip required by a bridge.

For that matter, how many airports can you park your car within a quarter-mile of the terminal? The ferry is just playing the role of the bus.

The Highway Fund ought to gettem a second bus...

Lemmeguess. The Highway "Trust" Fund has been looted like a slush fund for liberal do-gooderism.

The states should rebel immediately, and refuse to send another damn dollar to Fedgov for highways, and take over the Interstates themselves.
