[Q]: Comment: The representatives of the government in power should be in the position, all things being equal, to offer appointments and positions at its disposal as it thinks fit.  If there is a law against it doing so, that law should be abolished.  If a government cannot use patronage appointments in the open to smooth its agenda then it will do so in the shadows.  Of course a government that uses patronage appointments recklessly, putting someone in a position where he/she is in over their head, will sooner or later be recognized as incompetent will have to face the consequences.  Governments should be allowed to act foolishly, essentially against their own long term best interests, in this regard.  That's one of the reasons we have elections; to get rid of foolish, incompetent governments.

[Q]: Comment: This peice either steers way around  valid arguaments against or simply ignores facts, lets start with the biggie. It is NOT a road connecting to the road system, this is the same sort of misinformation KABATA used when they showed a conceptual drawing showing a two lane road. It is a road to a ferry and we have a ferry, it is also a road with avalanche prone sections.  This notion of oh its " free money" has to stop; look people federal money is tax  money and that only pays for constuction. Whcih if you use federal highway dollrs and take it for this pork it WILL reduce the amount for other needs like maintenance and upgrades.
