Ted Stevens: Bridge to the Taxpayers
An Alaskan author explains Ted Stevens’ continuing popularity:
In Haines alone, Ted has helped fund our public radio station, new library and Native-run health clinic.
Wrong. As far as I know, Ted Stevens didn’t contribute a dime to any of those projects. (True, some Alaskans helped fund his house, but the reverse isn’t true.) Rather, Stevens was a sort of Bridge to the Taxpayers of the lower 48. We’re the ones who paid for all the projects in oil-rich Alaska, not Ted Stevens.
