Tlaib recall

JoeBlog works for Moroun too, although claims he doesn't (like Mongo). He is on the non-public arm of Moroun's propaganda machine, spreading lies and rumors about the benefits of the Ambassador Bridge, and smear campaigns against anyone that opposes Moroun.

Mongo paid by bridge company

Thank you Neal Rubin.

I can't imagine that a man who doesn't live in our district will attempt to remove my representative, who is well liked and respected and appreciated. Rashida Tlaib really does speak for the majority of southwest Detroit.

Tlaib Recall

"making the public pay for a recall election"....seriously??? What about making the public pay for the DRIC bridge when Moroun is willing to build a second span with his own money! Not to mention the fact that the DRIC bridge has proven to be completely unneccesary!!! This article is complete (((EDITOR'S NOTE: CAPITALIZED CRUDE WORD TO DISPLAY AUTHOR'S DEFT TOUCH WITH THE LANGUAGE)))! Where's the journalistic integrity? Report the facts...

You're missing the point. Also, don't be vulgar on my Web site, lest I pound my mighty keys and make you disappear altogether.

As far as I'm concerned, they can both build bridges. So can you, after you explain why Ambassador II is necessary but DRIC is not. What's undeniably greasy here is for a political consultant who doesn't live in Rashida Tlaib's district to initiate or even threaten a recall based on a single issue on which he's being paid to take a side.

Tlaib recall

Then again he might NOT! Fantastic, building a slam on what someone might or might not do now to go after MOROUN.

I guess your spellcheck was not workig or was that a deliberate smear too?

Gee you missed this comment:

"but on Friday Mongo told MIRS that he's working solo.

"If the bridge wants to support it, that's fine, but this is my baby. I don't need to hide behind the bridge or anybody else," Mongo said"

Too bad you did NOT quote this but then again, it would ruin your Blog!

JoeBlog, Detroit, Mi

That same report quotes Mongo saying he does plan a recall, and that the Ambassador Bridge Company is his client. If you'd like to believe the bridge company has nothing to do with Mongo's sudden interest in Rashida Tlaib, step right up to the toll booth and buy the whole structure.
