The Detroit River public bridge legislation expected to be introduced soon could become a casualty of the state budget battle -- not only between Dems and Republicans, but possibly in internecine fighting twixt Rick Snyder and his own party.

Rumors are gaining steam that the Dems are warning that their support for the bill might require Snyder to compromise with them. Insiders say their warning -- if it really was such a warning -- is largely pointless because Snyder needs to convince the GOP before he worries about the minority Dems.

Could the bridge bill die on the vine in the name of getting the budget done?
