The Latest Spin

Add another twist to the litany of excuses/reasons for the closing of the bridge. Yesterday Fox 4 had a number of features on the BRB, the one that I saw mentioned officials are saying "motorists failing to heed the speed limit caused the premature closing of the bridge." Add this to the list of "unsafe", "safety reasons", "safety concerns", "overweight traffic", "noise" as public officials scramble to justify the closure. If you get more than one official to respond you are likely to get a different answer to the question Why? Can you say public relations disaster? Wait until our unenlightened brothers and sisters encounter the barricades and detour signs today. As one of the Weatherby Lake aldermen put it, we will be "inconvenienced". I could think of other descriptions.
