Warren, in the post that you quote, Graciegirl said her blood was boiling at the suggestion that the Developer might be responsible since bridges fail all the time due to natural causes. I know nothing about the matter, but I suppose that she might be right. In any case, somebody ought to look at whether the bridge was properly constructed in the first place. With the Developer's having put his ex-VHA presidents on the County Commission, I don't know who that somebody will be.
