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.
So the people of Alaska are ingrates for refusing federal money (our tax dollars) for a road they don't feel they need, nor want?
What are you; some sort of liberal tax and spender?
From my visits to Alaska, I've found the majority of Alaskans want their elected officials to get every penny they can get from Washington D.C. to compensate for Washington D.C. owning most of the state. If you don't like paying through the nose, maybe you should think about giving the people of Alaska the same right to self government as Kosovo Albanians enjoy. They'd have no problem paying for whatever they want or need if the federal government didn't own most of Alaska and rule over the people of Alaska with an iron fist.
You read one article written by one person, and you're ready to give Alaska back to Russia? I do believe I'll throw a cyber-snowball at you and rub your face in the snow. LOL
