The Navigation Branch at the local Corps District would love to dredge the
channel. They'd do it annually if they could. Dredging is one of the major
pieces that keeps them in a job.

The rules under which they operate is the problem.

If you want to buy some BBQ for someone try a lobbiest. One of those can do
a lot more good than any Corps employee.

maintained to a certain level by Federal Law, is being left to wither.


So, it is a Federal law that the ICW must be maintained?
Cool, does that mean we can put Congress and the Bush
Administration in jail?


Seems fair to me.
