GRAVINA ISLAND, Alaska — ...Crews are working to finish it. But no one knows when anyone will need to drive it.That’s because the $26 million road was designed to connect to the $398-million Gravina Island Bridge, more infamously known as the “bridge to nowhere.” State officials thought federal money would pay for the bridge, but Gov. Sarah Palin killed the project after it was ridiculed and Congress rescinded the money. Plans for the road moved forward anyway ...
“Here’s my question,” said Ketchikan Mayor Bob Weinstein. “If Sarah Palin is not being truthful on an issue like the Gravina bridge project, what else is she not being truthful about?” ..... Weinstein, who backed the bridge project, said that Palin should have redirected the money. “If the bridge was canceled, give the money back, or get the earmark removed, or redesign the road so it’s better for development,” he said. “Especially if you’re opposed to earmarks, and now you’re telling the world you’re opposed to earmarks” http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/stories/2008/09/19...
