Alaska isn't screwing us nearly as bad as the U.N. and international community as far as being 'donatee states'. And yes, that is just as irrelevant to whether or not we need this project or the money for it.

If I had my way, we'd open it up as a toll road, but only charge the toll to vehicles with more than two axles. I'd use the toll money to retire the bond, then maintain the road. We should charge the people that are destroying our roads -- trucking companies.
