Ketchikan’s local Republican Party chapter voted Monday evening to censure Sarah Palin. The former governor is vying to replace Congressman Don Young, who died in March. Laura Antonsen is the chair of the local Republican Party for state House District 1, which includes Ketchikan, Wrangell, Saxman, Metlakatla, Coffman Cove and Hyder. She says the local party committee hasn’t forgotten that Palin kiboshed . That came after telling Ketchikan’s Chamber of Commerce in 2006 that she supported the project.
“She said that this link is a commitment to help people in Ketchikan expand its access and help the community prosper,” Antonsen said by phone on Tuesday. “And then in 2008, the vice presidential Republican candidate campaigned by saying she had told the Congress, ‘thanks, but no thanks’ on the bridge.”
