Re: Trading bureaucrats for workers

If the Marine Highway System goes ahead with its plans to mothball the Taku, then the movement of the ferry system headquarters to Ketchikan will be a wash jobwise for the community because we would likely lose a similar number of ferry workers. Ketchikan can't afford more to lose 40 more well-paying year round jobs. That makes it even more essential to relocate the administrative jobs here. After all, bureaucrats - and their families - purchase homes, pay taxes, buy groceries and help support year-round activities, too.
