Marr Spends Day With USDOT Transportation Director
Senator Chris Marr, a Spokane Democrat and vice chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, spent Monday with U.S. Department of Transportation Director Ray LaHood.
They met for a lunch briefing at the University of Washington and held a news conference to discuss the stimulus funding provided for transportation projects in Washington. They then took a ferry to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony to open the federally funded Bremerton Tunnel.
Here's a video where Marr discusses the message he left with LaHood regarding transportation on our side of the state.
