The reason they want to eliminate the swing bridge 
is because a new swinger would cost $12 Mil and a 
fixed bridge would cost $7 Mil -- if it is only 12'
 off the water.  The swing bridge is only about 50' 
long overall.

I don't think anyone is "in tune" with me politically, 
and when it comes to lawyers, I only care that they 
are effective in combat.

Think "lakes".  Feds don't care.

Ed, my message stated the location and time of 
the hearing, and provided directions.  Gotcha!  
You didn't even read it before making a 
political issue out of it.  You lost the high
ground.

What a horrible thought.  Why make a personal 
issue of this?  You CAN be a nice guy.  Give
peace a chance...
