Crist to Sens. McCain, Levin: Jax channel needs $46-mil

Gov. Charlie Crist today sent a letter to his old pal U.S. Sen. John McCain, asking for federal support (i.e. cash) for the dredging of the Mayport channel in Jacksonville, part of planned upgrades to the Naval Station there.

Crist tells McCain and Sen. Carl Levin, chair of the Senate armed services committee, that he worries about a House proposal to strip from the federal budget $46 million that has been slated for the project.
