I've lived in Alaska my whole life, and yes, this seems like a waste of money. Although this does not sounds true. We have a very strong economy unlike the lower 48 from our oil as well.

this sounds like a bunch of hooy

I worked at the Trident seafood plant in 1990 when I left, a float plane (not the Goose I wanted to fly on) flew me to Dutch

an airport on another island seems stupid to me, if your going to have to ride a boat they might as well just keep driving it to Dutch
