The Port MacKenzie project never was a viable. It never made economic sense, but when you're spending other people's money it doesn't matter.  It is past time to abandon this misguided venture.  That the MatSu Borough Assembly decided to spend another $1.6 million of taxpayer's money on this white elephant project is shameful. This holds true for the Port of Anchorage as well.  We have two deep water, ice free ports with rail access in Whittier and Seward.  One has to wonder why we keep pouring money into Port Mackenzie and the Port of Anchorage when Whittier and Seward are far better ports.
