Governor Blunt:
Your recent decision to give away the bridge in Boonville, Mo. to the Union Pacific Railroad jeopardizes the entire legal framework that enables the Katy Trail State Park to exist.
We think that's wrong. We believe that if you had exercised leadership and creativity, there were many better options availaible to you.
Therefore, rather than standing by and letting the Katy Trail State Park become embroiled in a legal quagmire, we urge you to take immediate action to reverse your prior decision, and to seek a solution that preserves this Missouri treasure.
