    The bridge was the governor’s idea to celebrate the state’s 150th anniversary. But it was panned by lawmakers, historic preservationists and, apparently, the public.

    The bridge would have been paid for by private donations, though the state shelled out $1.5 million in planning costs.

      Who the fuck is privately donating $28.5 million to the state to build a walkway in front of tne capitol? I don’t really have an opinion on the bridge itself but I really want to know who’s throwing money at this.
