Despite the claims of Murkowski and conservative commentators that the road is needed to help residents get access to health care, former Interior Secretary Bruce noted in an op-ed published Tuesday in the Los Angeles Times that the original purpose of the road � when it was initially proposed in the 1990s � was to expedite the shipping of seafood from the canneries of King Cove to Cold Bay.
The Aleutians East Borough, which has spent nearly $800,000 lobbying Sen. Murkowski and Congress, says it wants to enable direct flights of live King Cove crab from Cold Bay�s airport to China, Japan, and other Asian markets.
