It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see through Matty Moroun's lies.

He has spent millions bribing and paying off, err... donating to, politicians for their support of his second bridge proposal.

If his plan for a second bridge was actually a better option than the plan for a public bridge, he would argue the merits of his plan. However, he has not given any valid reason or argument against the public bridge, and has only tried to confuse people with lies.

His commercials against the public bridge do not argue the merits of his proposed private bridge vs the merits of the proposed public bridge. His commercials claim that there is no need for new bridge, and therefore, if a new public bridge is built, it will be a major loss for the taxpayers.

Forgive me if I sound like an anti-American, communist-liberal socialist type, but when a billionaire bridge owner spends millions to bribe, err... donate to, politicians, and also spends tens of thousands on media propaganda, err... informational messages, just to get approval to build a new bridge, and then he claims that building a new bridge would be a terrible money-losing investment, I am slightly reluctant to believe him.
