Alaska town opens 'road to nowhere'
Alaska received about half the bridge money anyway, on condition it be
used for other things. Palin's predecessor and the Legislature
redirected all but $60 million in 2006 to other projects, and Palin
has left the remainder untouched, to be used eventually to improve
access to the island, her spokeswoman has said.

Well, at least the US taxpayer has a dirt road to show for his $ 25 mill.
Better than billions of dollars worth (?) of toxic debt.
