"Bridge To Nowhere" Senator Now Wants $84M Experimental Ferry For Island
With 40 People

Sen. Ted Stevens, who championed $452 million in federal funding for
Alaska's notorious "bridges to nowhere," has directed the Navy to build an
experimental ferry it once rejected to serve a little-used port in a remote
area of his home state.

The high-speed ferry will connect Anchorage to Port MacKenzie in the
Matanuska-Susitna Borough at an estimated cost to taxpayers of $84 million.
The project follows the same route as one of the two "bridges to nowhere,"
which the non-partisan Taxpayers for Common Sense and others spotlighted in
2005 as examples of wasteful projects promoted by members of Congress that
benefit few people.
