Some Republican members of Georgia’s congressional delegation say they are shocked President Barack Obama did not include in his budget proposal money to deepen the Port of Savannah, despite past support from the administration.
During a visit to Savannah last year, Vice President Joe Biden, appearing with Georgia’s Republican Sens. Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss, said the Savannah Port deepening would happen “come hell or high water.” And last week Isakson told the state Senate approval was nearly complete.
But in his budget proposal released Tuesday, Obama included only about $1 million for further study of the project.
