To state Board of Fisheries chairman Art Nelson, Don Young's Way, the proposed Knik Arm crossing named after his father-in-law, is hardly a bridge to nowhere.
For Nelson and his well-connected partners in Point Bluff LLC, Rep. Don Young's span is in fact a bridge to somewhere: their 60 acres of unobstructed view property on the Point MacKenzie side of Cook Inlet. The land sits directly across from Elmendorf Air Force Base, north of the Anchorage port and downtown.
"It's beautiful property," Nelson said.
If a road were built to the land today, it would require about a two-hour commute to downtown Anchorage. But a bridge would change everything. Don Young's Way would mean a shorter drive to downtown than from the Anchorage Hillside -- and make the land much more valuable.
See? So what is the problem? How can you not want your hard earned tax dollars going to make our hard working Representatives son-in-laws property worth much, much more money?
Why should we spend all of that money on rebuilding New Orelans when it will probably just flood again anyhow? That money will make Art Nelson filthy rich! Is that so wrong?
Okay Ohio, I guess I have to stop dinging on crazy Jean Schmidt for a moment and invite you to take your shots at our corrupt politicians in the interest of fairness. Stevens, Young, and our Governor Frank Murkowski are probably the biggest bunch of crooks that we have ever seen in Alaska. And by some strange coincidence they are all Republicans.
In the immortal words of Dr. Frank-n-Furter "Imagine that!"

Can't we ding on both of them? All of them?
