SW Detroit state rep dishes tough talk again today in Freep: http://www.freep.com/article/2009040...68/0/OPINION01

Excerpts:
"To my great disappointment, there has been no significant opposition from our state and local elected officials, despite the fact that this company, owned by a Grosse Pointe billionaire, disregards federal processes specifically designed to protect the public from irreparable harm to their health and environment. The Ambassador Bridge company's history of taking shortcuts to expedite its profits must end; the health of our children and well-being of our community are at stake.
". . . A number of elected officials act as though they are already swayed because of political contributions. They turn their heads to the Ambassador Bridge company's act-now-ask-later maneuvers. It must stop.We deserve respect."
At last month's local Coast Guard hearing, she adds: "Among the scattered Ambassador Bridge company supporters were kids, paid $40 to attend and hold professional signs."

Freep roundup on this issue also has pro-bridge column by Adolph Mongo [['Project will bring new jobs and boost economy') and editorial saying the "unconstructive holy war" should end because "the region will eventually need both bridges."
