Bridge to Nowhere
The bridge to Nowhere is a bridge that the people of Alaska want to have built for them to get them from theier island to the next island with the airport. They believe they have a growing population and need the other island for homes and businesses so be built on. Also, so they have easier access to the airport. It's somthing that they have been wanting for over 30 years. And now that Sarah Palin is running for office, she has mentioned it and said that she is stopping the bridge to nowhere. It also says that she hasnt been totally truthful about what she is doing and she is just bragging about it to make herself look better.When people here about this issue, they take it as a joke. They think that this island is in the middle of nowhere and small. Dave Kiffer thinks that that is a misjudgment. After reading this arcticle, i agree with Kiffer. He made strong points and showed statistics about how their island really is important and should be take seriously. That includes getting a new Bridge. The island Ketchikan, is 90 minutes north of Seattle, it had a year round population 14,00, its the 4th largest community in the state and more then 250,00 people vacation there each summer , mostly on cruises. So i think that they do need to have a bridge built. It would give them more of an oppourtunity so expand their community and let it grow like it needs to,
