DETROIT (AP) — An analyst who helped on a 2011
independent study of a new commuter bridge between Detroit and Canada
believes the failure to pass a ballot proposal aimed at stopping
construction may not have ended the legal fight over the span.
Colby
Spencer says it’s unlikely Tuesday’s defeat of Proposal 6 requiring
voter approval for any new border crossing will end Ambassador Bridge
owner Manuel "Matty" Moroun’s challenge to a planned government bridge.
Spencer is a senior analyst with the East Lansing-based Anderson Economic Group.
Gov.
Rick Snyder and Canadian officials have agreed to build the bridge
between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. It would be the stiffest
competition to the $60 million grossed annually by the Ambassador
Bridge.
Spencer says operators of the Ambassador Bridge "don’t want competition from any
entity."
