Bridge to Nowhere Going Nowhere?
Mark Tapscott says maybe.
“The legislature will make a determination on that. Very frankly, we’ll have to see how this thing plays out,” Murkowski said of the project that would erect a bridge comparable in size to the Golden Gate to connect Ketchikan with Gravina and Pennock islands. Ketchikan has about 8,000 residents, the islands less than 100.
That comment about the legislature sounds like a politician looking for a way out to me.
UPDATE: Tapscott was right. But the Agitator says it’s all smoke and mirrors.
It’s a cheap stunt by the GOP to deflect public criticism that doesn’t really change much of anything. All the conference committee did was remove the earmark for the bridges. Alaska will still be getting the same obscene amount of money from the federal government, it’s just that the state won’t be required to use it to build those two particular bridges. It’ll be up to the executive and the state legislature to decide how to spend it.
GayOrbit adds:
It is as much of a victory as a father taking back the money he gave his underage son for liquor and giving it back to him so he can spend it on cigarettes.
But Glenn has a different perspectives.
[I]t’s a small victory, really. But it’s a victory nonetheless, and in this battle you take ‘em where you find ‘em.
UPDATE: Will Ted Stevens resign, like he threatened? (Via OTB)
