Bloc forms to push big Mississippi River improvement plan
A new cross‑party bloc in Congress seeks 59.1 million dollars for a three‑part inland waterway program. Deepen the upper Mississippi, improve the Missouri from St. Louis to Kansas City, and expand the Ohio to open barge service. Iowa Senator Kenyon leads, backed by Hull and others from Midwest states, with broad regional support and allied groups ready to press for action in the next session.
