This road crosses over 40 avalanche zones and still will require ferry access. It's pork for engineer and contractor lobbyists. Period. Sweetwater Hydro, Kensington Mine, and most significantly MacKinnons' investment property adjacent to Kensington Mine. Legislators who go along do so for pork for their own pet pork projects. Deals are made. I'll support you if you support me. Whoosh.  There goes Alaskan's PFDs.
