Dawes Opposes Lake Erie and Ohio River Canal
Representative Dawes of Marietta Ohio opposes the Lake Erie and Ohio River Ship Canal bill, warning it may derail Ohio’s joint state federal plan. The canal would run from near Ashtabula to Pittsburgh, with Ohio funding and a Muskingum River link at Dresden to create a continuous navigation system. Dawes fears federal passage could deter the state from funding a larger Cleveland to Dresden canal expansion and the broader waterways program.
