Knik Arm Crossing great deal for South Central Alaska economy

After getting the facts from a trusted friend who would made a great legislator Roger Purcell who is the chair of the Houston, Alaska Chamber of Commerce.  No state money will used in the Knik Arm Crossing which means if they want to put tolls they can.  What they need to do check out how the Washington State Hwy 520 bridge is tolled allow toll passes, frequent users discount.  If you live in Port Mackenzie you should have a 50 percent discount this should also apply to the Whittier tunnel if you are Whittier resident.  Anchorage cab drivers just like picking someone or taking someone to Whittier according to Anchorage Title 11 if you have a fare to you have to pay extra to execute the trip such as toll you can pass that on to the customer and add it to the price of the fare.  The real question the real hold is what we call the mismanaged construction project called the Anchorage Port which started in the Begich Administration has continued through the Sullivan administration except for a few assembly member Paul Honeman and Dick Triani questioning the cost of the port.  Most assembly members have just sung the tune of lets just throw many at expanding the port hope a bridge a come.  In the mean time the Matanuska Susitna Borough buys a ferry that can only sit in the dock in Ketchikan kind of like a Chevy Nova.  This ship would be better if put the Alaska State Legislature on it instead of sending it to Los Angeles for the Catalina Island ferry.  The legislatures can not leave the ship until peoples business is done.  Build the bridge and tell the Anchorage Assembly to finish the port a bridge is coming
