The owners of the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit want your help to stop plans for new bridge to Canada. Governor Snyder and Canadian officials are moving forward with plans for a new span to hurry truck traffic between Detroit and Windsor. But a question on the November ballot would put in the state constitution a requirement that the voters of Michigan approve such a project. That means we might get to vote again on whether we think this particular bridge is a good idea. Lester Graham is an investigative reporter at Michigan Radio based in Ann Arbor who has been covering the bridge issue.

Bridge owners lie try to scare people into denying bridge

If you owned the bridge you would do whatever you could to stop another from going up because u would lose money. Thats the truth ...telling people it will cost them millions of dollars that could be used for police and firefighters is fear mongering...the Mouroons have alot of money and just look at how they throw it around making commercials and donating to politicians and paying people to run around signing petitions and shit... Corruption and payoffs are trying to stop a bridge that will be good for everyone except the Mouroons really think about it how could anyone think the bridge is not a good idea this is a good example of how money corrupts everything and if you have it you can do whatever u want .......send a message to the bridge owner that your not for sale and he doesn't control everything because hes a billionaire
