Bridge

Regarding Stephanie Scott's letter, here is a really good reason.
When the Airport was built on Gravina Island instead of Revillagagedo
Island we were promised a bridge to get there and that was 30
years ago. The money was here for the bridge until the down-southers
and some from up here got wind of it and the earmarks were taken
off and Palin took it and spent 199 million before the ink was
dry to take the earmarks off. How about the fact that the remaining
34 million was spent on the mainland and didn't even fill a pothole
here.
I don't know about you but
I think a Promise is a Promise and we have been lied to by the
state for 30 years about this and then they stole the money that
was supposed to build our bridge?
Those are some pretty good reasons for OUR Mayor to complain
about the fact that we don't have any money to build our bridge.
Oh yes, I see that the mainland is getting a bridge maybe two
and I wonder where that money came from?
