The AP has a story about how Sarah Palin supports building a new bridge to Anchorage, Alaska. The AP calls it “a bridge to her hometown of Wasilla.” Power Line points out it’s nothing of the sort. This map (provided by Power Line) shows the proposed bridge and its relation to Wasilla:
In fact, Wasilla is landlocked, and the proposed bridge is nowhere near it. Also, it’s pretty clear that the bridge (and the proposed road) would benefit everyone north of Anchorage, by significantly cutting driving times between Anchorage and points north. So yes, Wasilla would probably benefit, but far less than Willow and points north. It’s certainly not reasonable to call it a bridge to Wasilla. Actually, this looks like a very good public infrastructure investment, and it’s a little surprising that it doesn’t exist already.
