Bridge could save fuel

To the editor:

I was just reading the June 26 issue of Frontiersman and noticed the article about the Knik Bridge being put on hold in court.  I wonder if any of the legislators, governor, greenies and whoever else has considered the fuel that would be saved by long-haul trucks between Anchorage and points north?

Everyone is always concerned about how much fuel we all use and the prices being so high. This bridge would cut about 50 miles each direction for trucks going north to Fairbanks and beyond.

I haven’t heard anyone mention the savings of fuel. Surely the truckers should be glad to save fuel, at the price it is. The environmentalist should be happy about the saving of fuel.

I can’t think of anyone it wouldn’t benefit.

Also, kudos to John and Judy Raynor on their letter about the national health care program. We couldn’t agree more.
