Missouri Governor Matt Blunt, a guy with virtually no redeeming qualities who called my beloved city and other democratic strongholds places "where nobody wants to live anymore" is now doing his best to dismantle one of Missouri's greatest assets: the Katy trail.
It seems our great governor doesn't want to deal with a historic bridge that is to become part of the Katy trail. Instead, he wants to give it away to a company so they can sell it for scrap. Yup, they'll make money off of it and we'll give it away for free.
"A top official at the Missouri Department of Natural Resources has resigned over a move by Gov. Matt Blunt that he says could threaten Katy Trail State Park, one of the country's largest rails-to-trails projects."
One bridge a threat? Well, yes, actually. Giving up this bridge creates a gap in the corridor. The delicate legal framework that allows that state to maintain the corridor would be upset, meaning adjacent property owners could sue for this land and close the trail forever.
Sign the petition to help save this bridge and the Katy trail.
