"Road To Nowhere" Lurks In Palin's Future

I'm guessing she won't make a decision on it. She'll just push it off until after the election like Troopergate.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has said repeatedly that she told Congress "thanks but no thanks" to the notorious bridge-to-nowhere project derided nationally as an example of pork-barrel spending. But some are waiting to see whether she'll also pull the plug on another big earmark dubbed "Don Young Way" that could benefit her hometown.

Named after Alaska's lone member in the U.S. House, Republican Rep. Don Young, the Knik Arm Bridge proposal was one of two so-called "bridges to nowhere" that won more than $400 million combined through congressional earmarks in 2005. If built, it would span two miles of Cook Inlet and link Anchorage to nearby Matanuska-Susitna Borough.

However, the Knik Arm Bridge project remains alive - for now. Though she had expressed support for the project, Mrs. Palin called for a complete review of the plans this summer. Amid uproar about both projects, Congress in 2005 allowed Alaska to keep funding for the Anchorage and Gravina bridges, but said the state could spend the money on other projects instead.

Never met an earmark she didn't like... at least until other people didn't like it.
