Ingrates. Cede Alaska back to Russia.

Hey, Back off.

Just because the NYSlimes manages to find a few alaskans opposed to these projects does not mean they are un-needed.

Imagine if your Airport was a ferry ride away (with a small ferry) and flights were often missed because of the ferry was down. When a plane went off the end of the runway they couldn't even get emergency personell across the channel to evacuate the injured.

The road to the "swamp" is for a major port expansion, and is needed and favored by all alaskans and the military. The only ones opposed are the carbet bagger greenies from down south.

That was a little tongue in cheek.

I'm sitting on Annette Island, wishing it wasn't raining, so that I could take the liberty boat over to Ketchikan for an adult beverage or two. Alaska does need more roads, and yes, they are expensive to build. The road from Metlakatla to the north end of Annette has been under construction for quite a while, and will greatly improve the lives of the citizens of Metlakatla.
