So just how much does Texas piss away on needed projects? Alaska needs some roadways, a good place to start is at the population center. Namely,a bridge from Anchorage to Knik side.

Look at your roads

Versus on of our major roads.

and potential to do something...

We are about to go whole-hog and get involved in a project that will take 50 years to build, and that our descendants will be paying for, for the next 100. Trust me, many of us are not happy that our chunk of the international super-corridor is going to be dang expensive.

With that said, Alaska has a population of less than 700,000 while Texas has around 24 million (not to mention the NAFTA traffic that I-35 gets). Our roads are used by a helluva lot more people and so the tax-base would cover a lot more than some of the misguided bridge projects in Alaska.

I lived in Alaska for about a year, and I will admit that bridges would be nice, however ferries are much more cost effective. That's just the way it is.

Even Sarah Palin said the bridges were getting ridiculous and cancelled them.
