The owner of the Ambassador Bridge has filed a federal lawsuit in Detroit against the Federal Highway Administration seeking to prevent public disclosure of a 2007 safety and condition inspection report of the span, saying the report’s public release jeopardizes national security and violates a confidentiality agreement.
The billionaire owner of the Ambassador bridge could have saved himself bundles of money if he’d only read JOTR.
Manuel “Matty” Moroun’s gonna spend megabucks trying to suppress a two-year-old federal study of a report which, if it’s worth a damn, mentions the Number One safety concern for the bridge.
That would be the bomb that Matty himself planted under the span. Hundreds of thousands of gallons of diesel fuel and gasoline that he’s storing under the bridge.
The fuel dump provides goods that Matty sells at his duty-free gas station.
Matty can prate about terrorists all he wants, but it’s the bridge owner — Matty himself – who poses the biggest threat to life and limb on and around the bridge.
All of which has been reported on joelontheroad.com
Wake up, Matty!
Horse is out of the barn.
Cat’s out of the bag.
Old news.
You’re barking up a dead tree.
But I’m forgetting Matty’s chief tactic: Wearing down the enemy.
I can see a rationale, after all. It doesn’t matter that this is old stuff.
Anything to waste government time. The longer he stretches out the “debate” over his second bridge, the better his chances of finding jaded government officials or judges who’ll see things his way.
