IOWA CITY — Brandon Thomson was one of about a hundred people who showed up for a public forum with the Johnson County Supervisors Monday night. He wanted to make sure the supervisors knew how important the flood-damaged Sutliff Bridge was to him.
“I grew up out there,\ Thomson said. \I spent more time on it than in the classroom. It’s a way of life.”
Thomson’s story wasn’t unique, as one by one, people approached the board or individual supervisors and shared their stories and memories of the bridge.
