Intriguing teaser at tail of Jack Lessenberry's column in today's Metro Times:
quote:

Corruption and the river crossing? I have written before about Gregg Ward, the plucky owner of the Detroit-Windsor Truck Ferry, which takes trucks carrying oversized loads across the river. They aren't supposed to use the Ambassador Bridge unless they pay the city $200 in permit fees, partly to compensate for grinding the streets into rubble.
But Ward, who offers the bridge some puny competition, says trucks do anyway — and get away with not paying.

He produced some documentation that indicated this was so, as well as an e-mail from Saul Green, Detroit's new deputy mayor, who said he would look into it. Stay tuned.

Oh yes, we surely will.
