Ambassador Bridge Owner "Matty" Moroun Dies At Age 93
The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press report on the death of billionaire Manuel “Matty” Moroun, the controversial owner of the city’s Ambassador Bridge. Moroun succumbed to congestive heart failure at his home on Sunday. The News observes, “Moroun was a longtime political donor defined in recent years by his frequent clashes over property ownership and its use in the Detroit area. Moroun and his son, Matthew, spent millions on a multi-year and unsuccessful legal battle to stop the state of Michigan and Canada from building the Gordie Howe Bridge,” which they saw as “potentially a mortal threat to [their] decades-long control of the busiest border crossing in North America — the COVID-19 pandemic notwithstanding.”
