The fact is that Michigan taxpayers will lose on this deal. It's a bad deal. Yes, it hurts Maroun, but it also hurts Michigan taxpayers. We're paying for the Ambassador improvements, the tunnel improvements, and the Blue Water twin span, and traffic is lower than expected.
Blue Water was projected at 12 million crossings, and is currently at 5 million crossings. Yet another span will further harm Blue Water, and cost Michigan taxpayers, who will be paying for that second span for decades [[which was supposedly going to to be paid back by tolls from the increased volume, which hasn't happened).
