Thursday.
The authority operating the bridge faces a shortfall of $87 million over the next five years, and its board on Friday may vote to hire a consultant to review corporate partnerships, said spokeswoman Mary Currie.
“It’s actually something we’ve been thinking about for the past few years,” Currie said.
She said the bridge authority would develop a “class-act” program, adding it admires the National Park Service’s “Proud Partners Program,” which allows corporations to pay for projects and take credit for them.
Sell it to Larry Ellison. Then, he won’t have to take his boat to town.
