We have a planned boondoggle happening in Haines, Ak right now. Bill Thomas was a  co-chairman of the finance committee at the state legislature and got 19.5 million dollars for a harbor expansion. So Haines Borough designed and approved a 37 million dollar project. Where is the additional money going to come from? And when you build a 37 million dollar thing, it takes that much or more to maintain it and replace it when it dies and so it is really an eighty million obligation, at least. And Haines doesn't even need any more slips, there are empty slips and space all summer and you all know what Alaska is like in the winter so the harbor is dead and of course it is winter most of the time.  It is all very interesting, I wish the ADN would do a story on it. There's more, Haines has another facility, Lutak Dock, that is 63 years old been declared unsafe by an engineer's report from two years ago and Haines has no plan and no money to fix it. Giant forklift on rotted dock. Bad juju.
