BALDWIN ICY ON TRUMP BUDGET PROPOSAL

BALDWIN ICY ON TRUMP BUDGET PROPOSAL

Senator Tammy Baldwin says President Trump’s budget proposal will hurt maritime commerce on the Great Lakes. 

The Wisconsin Democrat today says she has fought for funding with the other Great Lakes senators for a second heavy icebreaker to keep maritime traffic moving during the winter months. 

She says the 2021 fiscal budget includes no funding for a new icebreaker.  Baldwin says inadequate ice-breaking capacity in the Great Lakes is costing thousands of American jobs and millions of dollars in lost business revenue.
