KETCHIKAN, Alaska (AP) — More than 9,200 travelers have bought tickets for some Alaska state ferry sailings this summer that might have to be canceled if funding is not restored to the proposed budget for fiscal year 2016, according to Alaska Marine Highway System officials.
The Marine Highway System could face about $11 million in cuts to its budget, the Ketchikan Daily News newspaper (http://is.gd/gSzLdy) reported. The Taku, Chenega and Malaspina ferries would have to be sidelined from July through September of this year if that happens, officials said.
