Bridging the Gulf

Some people on the Alaskan island the "bridge to nowhere" will serve say Washington should use the more than quarter-billion dollars earmakred for the bridge to help with hurricane relief instead.

The bridge is a pork project slipped into the Highway Bill to build a massive bridge to a tiny island with about 50 people on it.

But Mayor Mike Salazar wants to keep the bridge. He believes it'll mean an economic boom for Ketchikan, Alaska. (WPMI)
