The Juneau road does seem like a huge waste, even if "Federal Dollars" are paying for a lot of it. I was glad to see the Susitna Dam project cancelled. The article you linked didn't seem very well written or present anything positive about the Juneau road. I'd like to hear the other side of the story to be more informed. On a side note, I find it hypocritical that most Alaskan's don't care about cost if the Federal Gov't is paying for most/all of it. Federal government debt is out of control and that money isn't free. One day we'll all be paying more in federal taxes for all these "free" projects.
