Alaska Senator Stevens Drives Overhaul of Federal Spending
Alaska stands to gain more than 500 million dollars in federal projects in 2000 led by Senator Ted Stevens. Funds include 2 million to clear beetle-infested Kenai spruce, 5.9 million to curb fetal alcohol syndrome, 2 million for FAA volcano-emission tracking, and 135 thousand for dental sealants. The plan also boosts national parks, military installations, rail improvements, and regional development amid debate over pork-barrel spending and Stevens' influential role. The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce hails him as a key economic force while critics call his approach costly.
