Darcie Salmon as Boro Mayor at the time of this "acquisition" and Larry DeVillbiss as a Boro assemblyman were hand in hand in this debacle. (Incidentally DeVillbiss as the former Mayor 'ducked" this every time it came up). Uncle Ted wanted to spread money to the Ketchikan boatyard and the Madzoo picked up the pieces as if a "free ferry" was a score. Not. No landing in Anchorage, no plan to use this thing, problems with the ice in Cook Inlet, Design after design change with no Boro oversight which there was staff paid to do at the Boro not doing their job  and on and on. Nice.
