What's "pork" to one person is a job to another.

And safety to alot more.

I applaud the governor for saying 'Look, we arnt going to spend $400 million to build a bridge to an island with 50 people on it when we can take this money and improve ferries for alot cheaper'.. but still.. that's alot of money to send to a state with no real 'direction' to it.

I dunno. I'd live there if there was work for someone like me up there. Wonder if it'll ever be like montana where all the celebrities pretend to be ranchers and buy a lot of land. There's plenty to go around up there.
