Amused to read today that after the plans to build the bridge to nowhere were canceled they still built the access road on the island with part of the 223 million Alaska kept that was originally dedicated for the bridge to nowhere.

Access road was 3 miles long and cost 26 million.

Seem to be a lot of dumb asses working in the government. Amazing how it does not matter if they are Democrats or Republicans.

From the article"

That is probably the most disturbing element of this and the campaigning on the Bridge to Nowhere," said Bill Allison of the Sunlight Foundation, a taxpayer watchdog group. "Because, yes, they had a chance to vote specifically against the Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska to redirect the money to people, to bridges and infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Katrina going in to New Orleans, and they chose not to."
