There are other programs requiring supplemental funding which will need to be addressed this session. I am vetoing the reappropriation item in this bill that takes money previously appropriated for the Sitka Shuttle Ferry and puts it toward a Baranof Island Terminal Road.

The Shuttle would provide greatly improved access to Sitka and is in the procurement process. The Baranof Island Terminal Road does not have widespread support, is not a part of the Southeast Plan and would cost over $145 million to build over many years.
