Abstract

The article reports on the problems associated with the dependence of the state of Alaska on U.S. federal subsidies. The author claims that the Gravina bridge construction project in Ketchikan reflects the enormity of the subsidy per capita, which was more than $17,000 per Ketchikan Gateway Borough resident. Compounding the problem is the investigation into the involvement of Alaska Senator Theodore Fulton Stevens in several corrupt practices.
