The former agency directors have joined in a lawsuit challenging the administration's decision to give up ownership of the Bonnville Bridge that lies on Katy Trail.

Among the three department directors is Tracy Mehan, a Republican who served under Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Actuality: MEHAN02.WAV
