FYI: this representative worked long and hard on the ACES initiative a couple of years ago. He is not part of the majority so is sort of left out of the budget. He is a forward thinking young man; before making negative comments, I would check him out: he really does appear to be looking out for the interests of the Alaskan people.

Personally, having lived here 60 years, it looks to me like small projects such as this will help with the private economy and stimulate jobs down the line.
