"Under state ownership, the Mt. McKinley Meat and Sausage plant averaged losses of $100,000 a year."  

As usual, state ownership = poor management = huge losses.  That's why the state prison system should be outsourced to the L48. Road, airport and harbor maintenance should be privatized.  State agencies like AHFC should be shut down and the service handled by the private sector.  And it is the reason Walker's idea of state ownership of his fantasy LNG gas line is idiotic.
