Did you know that both the Detroit River Railroad Tunnel and the Ambassador Bridge are owned by one man? Matty Maroun has become a billionaire in part by having a monopoly on the cross border traffic in Detroit. That fact alone is shocking. Now Maroun is waging a very expensive campaign of disinformation to try to convince Michigan voters not to accept a second bridge over the Detroit River that is to be paid for entirely by the Canadian government so that he can maintain his monopoly on this critical traffic.
I suggest we all tell Maroun to go jump off a bridge!

Wow. Let me get this straight. The voters of Michigan, many of whom presumably are paying the tolls of the Maroun bridge either directly or indirectly, are currently split 50/50 as to whether or not they want to keep paying a privately-owned bridge toll or have the option of a free bridge built by another government (backed by the state's governor, unions, economists, at least 2 other state governors, and more?) This is prime example of why we need to start curtailing campaign ads b/c when all's said and done, most people don't understand what they are really voting on and so, they go with the squeaky wheel….
