Bargain bridges? Altered Ohio River Bridges Project sparks mixed reactions among critics
Paul Fetter, co-founder of Southern Indiana’s No 2 Bridge Tolls group, says he was excited by the proposed downsizing “because they had told me for months that the project couldn’t be changed.” But he’d be more gratified “if they decide to make more changes.”
He thinks tolling would disproportionately burden Hoosiers, disadvantage Kentuckiana in competing for regional and national events, and thwart cross-river mobility and commerce. “Indiana has to go to Kentucky for many things, but Kentucky doesn’t have to come to Indiana for hardly anything,” he says.

It's difficult to imagine why the News and Tribune hasn't followed up with Clere after revealing that he voted to give tolling authority to the governor sans any further legislative approval and then failed to disclose when the paper asked him directly about tolls during his most recent campaign.
All that misleading posturing and no questions?
Because its the Tribune, that's why.
I say quit trying to make the Tribune into a newspaper and start local broadcasting on the radio. The FCC has to give licenses now for micro-broadcast signals. I can't imagine anyone here has applied for one yet. Jeff...IUS? I volunteered at a similar set-up in Massachusetts 10 years ago. We had real political impact and the station still does.
