Boonville Bridge decision appealed
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Tue, 05/02/2006 - 1:54am
According to an article in the Columbia Tribune, the decision in favor of the Department of Natural Resources, which wants to turn over the MKT railroad bridge at Boonville to the Union Pacific, has now been appealed:
Attorney General Jay Nixon has appealed a judge’s decision that found the state has no property right to an old railroad bridge.
Earlier this week, a judge ruled for Gov. Matt Blunt’s administration in a dispute with Nixon. Nixon sued the Department of Natural Resources last year over its decision to give up the state’s interest in using the old bridge as part of the Katy Trail State Park. Union Pacific Railroad Co. wants to dismantle the bridge and use the steel elsewhere.
