Senator Supports Using HMTF Money for Dredging

US Senator Debbie Stabenow is calling on Congress to use money in the federal Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund for dredging the nation’s harbors.

This week, she and several other senators sent a letter to the Office of Management and Budget asking that the Army Corps of Engineers come through in this issue.

A similar call to spend that money on harbors has previously been made by Congressman Fred Upton.
