I'm no fan of Don Young.  But Wolhforth, as usual, is making conclusions that defy logic.  Yes, Don Young helped get a lot of the money for this bridge to nowhere.  But other money was routed from the state budget via capital project appropriations.  Don did not create or manage KABATA.  That was a beast that local, not federal, corruption propagated.  The bridge was not all Don.  It was seeded by Don, but the massive waste was due to the state.

And Wolhforth assumes that KABATA is defunct because their sign was taken down and because Walker said for the second time that the project is over.  Well, what about the $40 million they still have?  And if Walker says, for the second time, that this project is done ... what proof do we have that this isn't just another lie from Walker?
