But, considering everything...IMO, there are better uses for that money. This island is currently serviced by the airport ferry which operates 8 to 16 hours per day with departures every 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the season. Seems pretty adequate....Heck, if you want inconvenience, just try flying out of any major airport in CA, or TX.
And considering Ted Steven's deplorable behavior concerning this bridge...I'd take this bridge away from him...just on principle.
Spiting the Senator makes no sense at all.
