the mayor of jeffersonville, indiana, is urging motorists who need to go to downtown louisville from southern indiana to instead consider crossing the ohio river in madison, indiana, about 35 miles out of the way. the folks who use that bridge to get to work every day need it fixed and need it fixed now. you may remember last week during his address to the joint session of congress president obama specifically mentioned a kentucky bridge over the ohio river that desperately needed repair. that was a different kentucky bridge over the ohio river that also desperately needs repair. that was the brent-spence bridge that links kentucky with ohio. that one also needs to be repaired. it recently has been dropping concrete chunks on to its lower deck. in fact, there are lots of bridges across the country that need to be repaired. more than 69,000 american bridges are deemed structurally deficient by the federal away administration. should we fix those bridges? shouldn't we fix those bridges
