Thanks for the ping, I'll try to read those new links. Later in the thread it's going circular again, but a couple new points came out, the funds could have been diverted to Katrina but weren't (should check that) and the one I like the best which is what I thought is that the bridge would be a good thing for those people but simply wasn't affordable with all the other priorities facing not just her but Alaska. I would prefer, however, not to get dragged too much further into this issue, cut it off at the pass, and hear more of her ideas and accomplishments apart from this bridge to nowhere that wasn't built in a part of our country that I don't consider unimportant (everybody counts), but such an isolated outpost, and we have much more massive issues to discuss and attempt to resolve. I'm not saying it doesn't demonstrate her ability to make decisions or her wisdom in the one she made (no doubt along with support and objections).
