Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-08) recently sent a letter to the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard, urging the immediate restoration of a fully operational and fully staffed Saginaw River Station.
“Nationally, the Coast Guard has received record funding and posted some of their strongest recruitment numbers in decades. After years of cutting operation hours and staffing and recent structural damage, it’s time for those record resources to come to the Saginaw River station,” said Congresswoman McDonald Rivet. “Our brave Coast Guardsmen do everything they can to keep mid-Michigan families safe, and they need the federal investment to restore 24/7 coverage.”
