Corp blamed it all on money and said that the settlement from dredging is a mystery to where it comes from
Swear on the Bible that is what she said !!

I agree with this.

Blame is a little bit of a strong word. What I got from her presentation was that their primary role is to keep the ship channel dredged out. The money they are allocated from the Federal government barely covers that role and there is additional funding needed for extra projects (like rocking the channel).

Someone asked if "XYZ Act" (I don't remember which one) was included in part of her funding and she did not know. She only knows what her annual budget is, and I don't think she really knows which Federal acts contribute to that budget... I don't think it's pertinent to her job.

I would like to know who is in charge of handling erosion issues in the ship channel. Obviously this can be funded through the Port and the USACE can do the work, but that isn't where this originates.
