Bridge Anyone? MALE: Psst. Hey, wanna buy a bridge? FEMALE: Some North Carolina politicians have a bridge in the Outer Banks they'd like to sell you. Don't buy it. MALE: But the Bonner Bridge is old and needs to be replaced. FEMALE: We all agree on that. In fact, construction of a new, "long bridge" to connect Bodie Island with Rodanthe was proposed to begin this month. Until a handful of politicians stopped it in its tracks. MALE: Yeah, they say a short bridge will be cheaper. FEMALE: Don't buy it. The short bridge connects to NC-12, which gets washed out every time we have a major storm. It costs us taxpayers millions of dollars to clear year after year. MALE: So overtime, the long bridge will be cheaper? FEMALE: Yes. So, if someone says they have a short bridge to sell you, don't buy it. Get the facts at www.BuildTheLongBridge.org. And call Governor Easley's office at 1-800-662-7952 and ask him to replace the Bonner Bridge with the long bridge now. FEMALE: Sponsored by Build the Long Bridge Coalition.
