Bleh. Oakland County commissioners do a useless, non-binding vote to support the effort against a government built bridge. The vote was straight down party lines 16-9.
They support the petition because quote: "Republican commissioners said a “government bridge” would siphon business away from a private business owner". Yet the rest of the business community in Michigan is clamoring for this bridge - the automakers have wanted a new span for 10+ years!

This proves that it's all about the money - otherwise, why pick one business owner over another? I thought the government wasn't supposed to pick winners and losers!
