"Bridge to Nowhere"

The bridge was supposed to be built to get the residents of
ketchikan, alaska to their airport. The government promised it
over 30 years ago, in the form of an earmark. But
the governer there, who is now a running mate for McCain,
stopped it before it had even begun to be built. I believe
that the reason it's so famous is because Sarah downplayed the
demand for the bridge, like it was a pointless waste of taxpayer's money.
The writer is angry because it wasn't like the state of Alaska was
asking for something completely pointless. The resident's needed the
bridge to get to their airport. I'm sure that if they didnt have a way to get to the airport
in LA, the government would make a huge deal, and not take 30 years to do it.
I agree that the writer of this article had plenty of evidence to change anyone's opinion
on the issue. He had statistics about the population of their city that proved how needed the bridge was. For instance, i'm sure 1 million visitors deserve a bridge to get across to the city they came to see.
