Charles Wolhforth is a  Welfare Socialist who loves to help Alaska's important-essential-poor-rural poor.  His arguments should be countered.
City of Anchorage taxpayers don't need to fund this port project for the rest of the state to use.  The port just makes things easier to get and cheaper for non-Anchorage taxpaying citizens and free loaders.  A better idea would be change the City of Anchorage back to its native name: maybe "UGHIWISHIGIAK(sic)".  Then "UGHIWISHIGIAK" POLS could go to the State Legislature arguing isn't spending money on the Port of "UGHIWISHIGIAK" more important than spending ANY state money on:
(1)  moving Kavilina village to a new frozen blueberry patch for $150,000,000, or
(2) moving Newtock village to a new site of dependency for $150,000,000, or
(3) building a new school in sinking Kavilina for $47,000,000, or
(4) building a Barrow, AK $1,000,000,000 dike against the sea.
Contrary to what Mr. Wohlforth advocates figure out project cost/benefit per capita!
