PROPOSAL 6: INTERNATIONAL CROSSINGS APPROVAL
Recently I was
downtown on the river visiting a naval ship. I could see the Ambassador Bridge
to Canada
and the trucks lined up to slowly cross the bridge. I thought, wouldn’t it be
great if we had another bridge to Canada to make crossing easier and
faster?
Well the owner of
the Ambassador Bridge
Our governor thinks
that building another bridge to Canada is something the state needs, would
create a lot of construction jobs and maybe even increase the flow of our
exports to Canada PLUS the Canadian government would finance most of the
construction…sounds like a great deal to me.
But obviously not to
Matty Maroun, the old owner of the Ambassador
Bridge
He has spent
millions on trying to prevent a new bridge from being built and now has spent
enough to get a proposal on the ballot that would alter our constitution to
prohibit our governor or legislature from making a decision to build a bridge;
only the people can make that decision and he is counting on influencing the
people with his millions to vote his way.
This proposal is
very stupid and a very clear attempt by the owner of the existing bridge to
prevent competition but will the people see it as that?
Please think about
it and vote NO on this very stupid and self-serving proposal that would not
benefit the people of Michigan
in the least!
