APRN: Sen. Coburn calls Alaska Native ferry a waste of money

"In his annual “Wastebook” U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) labeled a federally sponsored ferry in Seldovia Bay a waste of federal tax dollars.

Coburn’s report cites a June account from the Government Accountability Office that said the Seldolvia Village Tribe veered far off its original plan. The plan, which landed the tribe at least $8.5 million, was supposed to improve ferry service and roads."
