The right thing now is for the city to go to TxDOT and do a mea culpa (granted the present are apologizing for the sins of the past) and start the process to get the bridge rebuilt, get the lawsuit dropped so we can get Hefland off the payroll, and so everyone can move forward and concentrate on current city issues pertinent to all.
Tuesday night the city council voted to finally release the title reports on the bridge that they had previously voted to obtain. It is now available here in two parts: July 15 document July 29 document
Note that this document presents itself as a "Title Report". It does not appear to be an actual opinion of title; in fact, it even says to in the disclaimer. "... does not express any opinion as to the validity of the title to the property..."
What? The appellate court sent the Glen Cove bridge case back to Galveston again (where it should have been heard in the first place)? So the case is NOT dead? You mean Glen Cove did NOT "lose" their case? Oh my. What will The Hallisey Fallacy have to say now? Oh Patty Melt, where art thou? Here, Patty, Patty. Come out and play. What great words of wisdom do you have for us today, Pat? Inquiring minds want to know. What's a'matter, Pat? Cat got yer tongue?
Morgan: If TxDot ain't got money for a real bridge, you reckon they might be able to put together a rickety old wooden one like the bridge Marc Edelman remembers?
For someone who has a short-title-report-legalese-gobbledygook-attention span, can one of you guys summarize, with key conclusions in 100 words or less, what these title documents mean?
Thanks for reminding me Joe. Sorry I didn't consult you before our attorney won the appellate case; I forgot that we were not supposed to win. I'll have to remind him that Joe says we need a better lawyer because he screwed up and won the battle that was supposed to be impossible for us to win.

Jeff,
Where have all the Glen Cove critics gone?? Maybe on vacation abroad?

The State doesn't have the money to complete budgeted road construction, much less non-budgeted construction.
