Thus the Republicans are doubly responsible because they let AIDEA continue, grow, and survive after campaigns against "socialists". Many of these projects are huge now....the Ketchikan Shipyard is owned by AIDEA thus the State of Alaska and it was all under the Republicans watch. Owned by the state and supported by the state and financed by the state with ferries purchased by the state and will be used the the state. Sounds like communism to me and all done by Republicans. Because the shipyard is owned by AIDEA/Alaska it does not pay property taxes and the electricity it uses is subsidized by the public utility in Ketchikan where all the politicians in power claim they are conservative republicans...what a laugh. They are socialists if not communists as defined as late as 1988 by Ronald Reagan himself.
