From the National Brief (page A22, Friday Sept 12, 2008)
Washington, D.C.Keep you eyes and ears open folks, the earmarks are next, after approval in committee.
Panel OKs road backed by Palin
A remote Alaska road supported by Gov. Sarah Palin cleared the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, angering environmentalists who say it is unnecessary.
The road would run through a federal wildlife refuge, linking the fishing village of King Cove, population 800, to an all-weather airport 25 miles north.
The road could cost as much as $30 million. Federal approval would not include any earmarks to pay for it.
