I had a personal meeting with Grosse Ile supervisor Brian Loftus in 2009 about this very subject. US District Judge Lawton (Eastern Michigan) had already ruled these actions unconstitutional. I advised him bad law enforced by zealots was a bad mix and eventually he would be sued. I could go on at great length however I don’t wish to boor. This is what Jen Granholm and the Democrats thought was a good idea back in 2004.
You live on Grosse Ile?
I lived on Meridian (twice), Vogt, and East River.
Used to be a nice, easy going community. But really started to go down hill governmentally about the time they tried to Eminent Domain the private Toll Bridge.
Guess it hasn’t gotten any better!
