Great Lakes Maritime Task Force has today named New York Congressman Brian M. Higgins (D) Great Lakes Legislator of the Year. The award recognizes his support for Great Lakes shipping, examples of which include voting for the Water Resources Development Act of 2007, which called for accelerated dredging of Great Lakes ports and construction of a second Poe-sized Lock at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, at full Federal expense. The award will be formally presented at the Task Force's Briefing for the Great Lakes Delegation in Washington on April 2. See attached for more details.
